Martin J. COYLE, a lifelong resident of Gloucester City, passed away on September 15 at the age of 81.

Marty had a smile that would light up a room. He loved to laugh and had an outgoing personality. He knew everyone and everyone knew Marty.

 Mayor Bill James said, \”It is with deep sadness that my entire family has learned the passing of Marty Coyle. Marty was a dear friend of my parents and it was through them and Marty\’s children that I came to know him and love him. Always with a smile and a joke Marty would stop whenever he saw you just to exchange the pleasantries of the day. Marty was a warm and caring person who never had the time of day to bad mouth a soul. I personally, along with the rest of my family will truly miss him and Gloucester City somehow will never be the same absent his presence. My extreme condolences are extended to Mrs. Coyle, Marty, Shannon, Cherly, Kelly, Kara and Terry and may God give them the strength to get through this most difficult of times\”

\”If Marty met you on the street or in church he would warmly shake your hand. He would ask right away how is your family. How are you doing. You look great. Just those few minutes with Marty gave you a warm feeling that would last the day. I can still see the twinkle in his eyes, and his great smile, \” said Bill Cleary, former publisher of the Gloucester City News. \”He certainly will be missed.\”

Former Mayor Bob Bevan said, \”He was one of the great people that help make Gloucester City the community we all love.\”

Mr. Coyle was very involved with the City of Gloucester. He was an exempt volunteer fireman having served at Gloucester Heights Fire Co. #4 for 27 years. He was also a former paid fireman and long time Ambulance driver for the City of Gloucester. Mr. Coyle formerly served on the Gloucester City Board of Health and was a very active member of the Gloucester City Democrat Club.

He worked at the South Jersey Port Authority before retiring several years ago. He was member of The Over The Hill Gang, The Ray Ford Old Timers, and the Sunday morning gang. Mr. Coyle was a proud Army veteran of WW II having served in the 82nd Airborne, and was also a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. For a time he was an usher at St. Anne\’s RC Church in Westville.

Beloved husband of Marie B. (nee Dabrowski). Loving father of Martin J Coyle, Jr. (Eileen), Patrick Shannon Coyle (Vicki) Cheryl L.

One day an Irishman, who had been stranded on a deserted island for more than 10 years, saw a speck on the horizon. He thought to himself, \”It\’s certainly not a ship. \” As the speck got closer and closer, he began to rule out the possibilities of a small boat and even a raft.

 

Suddenly there emerged from the surf a wet-suited black clad figure. Putting aside the scuba gear and the top of the wet suit, there stood a drop-dead gorgeous blonde!

 

The glamorous blonde strode up to the stunned Irishman and said to him, \”How long has it been since you had a good cigar.\”

 

\”Ten years,\” replied the amazed Irishman.

 

With that, she reached over and unzipped a waterproof pocket on the left sleeve of her wetsuit and pulled out a fresh package of cigars. He takes one, lights it, and takes a long drag. \”Faith and b\’gorrah,\” said the man, \”that is so good I\’d almost forgotten how great a smoke can be!\”

 

And how long has it been since you\’ve had a drop of good Powers Irish Whiskey?\” asked the blonde.

 

Trembling, the castaway replied, \”Ten years.\”

 

Hearing that, the blonde reaches over to her right sleeve, unzips a pocket – removes a flask and hands it to him. He opened the flask and took a long drink.

 

\”\’Tis the nectar of the Gods!\” stated the Irishman – truly fantastic\”.

 

At this point the gorgeous blonde started to slowly unzip the long front of her wet suit, right down the middle. She looked at the trembling man and asked, \”And how long has it been since you played around?\”

 

With tears in his eyes, the Irishman fell to his knees and sobbed –

 

\”Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Don\’t tell me you\’ve got golf clubs in there,
