A funeral service was held on Saturday, June 2, at 1:00 pm at Trinity Episcopal Church, Gouverneur.
Dwayne was born in Gouverneur on December 7, 1948, the son of William and Mary McAdam Martin.
He graduated from Gouverneur High School in 1967 and attended St. Lawrence University until being drafted and served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War, from 1970 until 1973, specializing in nuclear weapons.

He enjoyed growing and exhibiting flowers, displaying model trains throughout the United States and Canada, held train shows for youth groups, and belonged to model train clubs TCA, OVRR, TTOS, E&E, and LCCA. Dwayne also had a strong interest in history, trivia, and volunteered time at the Gouverneur Museum.
He enjoyed singing karaoke, attending the county fair, doing crossword puzzles, assisting the Rossie Youth Group, dressing up as Santa, mardi gras, and strawberry ice cream was his favourite.
Memorial donations in Dwayne’s memory may be made to the Submarine Veterans Scholarship Fund.
Mike passed away on June 10th., 2016. His last message to the Club shows the type of man he was. We will always remember you Mike and missed you dearly. Thanks for making the hobby more fascinating because of your input.
From Mike Watts May-21-16 8:04 PM
I'm sorry I haven't responded as I have been in hospital for several weeks and will remain here for another week. I have been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic and liver cancer, I have yet to find out from the oncologist how much time I have but the cancer is quite advanced and there is no treatment.
I am sorry to be delivering this news as I had planned attending a few more shows before I passed on. Your show has always been well organized and fun.
Best regards,
Mike
