Obituary of Albert Charles Martin

We are heartbroken to announce the sudden passing of our father, Albert Charles Martin, "Pop Pop". Born April 6, 1951 (Philadelphia, PA)-November 19, 2023 (Cocoa, FL); reunited with his loving wife, our mother, Nancy Marian Martin, in heaven after 51 years of marriage.

Al was a retired Philadelphia Police Officer, having served 20 years as an Officer; SWAT and Detective. He also worked at Cocoa High School after earning a degree in computer science. His hobbies included hunting and fishing and he was an avid woodworker, having created many beautiful pieces of furniture over the years. Al was supportive, generous, a teacher and fixer of all. Al was a lover of all animals and the love Al had for his family and friends was immense. He will be missed deeply by those who knew his love.

He is survived by his sister, Melissah (Missy) Kochera; daughters, Amy (Aim) Grandey (spouse, Doug) and Amanda (Mand) Penn (spouse, Joel); grandchildren: Zachary (Z-man) Grandey, Kevin Martin, Connor (Conman) Appling, Caitlyn (Catie Coo) Grandey, Caelyn (Sissy) Appling and Noa (Dog Breath) Penn.

Hug mom for us and tell her how much we miss her. You have not left us, even though you’re gone. Until we meet again…“I promise to love you for the rest of my mine”-  Mand
