John "Randy" Martin, 65, of Lexington Park, MD died January 25, 2013 at Washington Hospital Center in Washington D.C. Born March 8, 1947 in Greensboro, NC, he was the son of the late William Thomas Martin and Edna Faye Tolley Martin.

Randy earned a Bachelor of Science and Master's Degree in Mathematics from the University of North Carolina in Greensboro, NC. While attending college he was the President of Elliott Hall student center. This is where he met his future wife, Muriel Bradley; whom he married on September 18, 1976 at Trinity Episcopal Church in St. Mary's City, MD. Together they spent thirty-six wonderful years together.

After earning his Master's degree, he moved to Lexington Park in 1972 to work as a computer programmer for Sperry Univac. After thirty-two dedicated years in the computer industry he retired in December 2010 from Northrup Grumman.

Randy enjoyed gardening, attending concerts and spending time with his family and his dogs. He had an eclectic and detailed knowledge of music, particularly jazz and blues, and loved to travel - especially to music festivals. Randy was known, both at work and amongst family, for his clever sense of humor and care for others.

In addition to his wife, Randy is survived by his daughters, Tenley Elizabeth Martin of Leeds, England and Alexis Miranda Martin of Annapolis, MD; and his brother, William Penn Martin (Freddie Ann Davis) of Greensboro, NC.

He is preceded in death by his parents.
