William Larry Martin, 67, of Bronson passed away on May 9, 2012 while on vacation with his family. Martin was born in Winnesboro, LA, and moved to Bronson at just 6 months of age. After graduating from the University of Florida in 1967, he entered in the United States Air Force where he was an Instructor Pilot in the Advanced Jet Trainer. Captain Martin spent the next five years serving his country before moving to South Florida in 1971. While in Ft. Lauderdale he was a pilot with Delta Airlines as well as a contractor specializing in industrial, commercial and whole subdivisions.

Martin moved back to Bronson in 1983 where he took a job with the Levy County School Board as the director of Maintenance and Transportation. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, farming, and his cattle. He was happiest while on his tractor and spending time with his "Fussy Bear", Emily Malloy. He enjoyed skeet shooting with his daughter Maggie and was also very proud of his family.

Dora, daughter Maggie Martin and future son in law Jimmy Vickers of Gainesville, granddaughter Ashlee McCard and great granddaughter Zayna McCard, both of Woodland, AL, brother Lee (Earleen Williams) Martin of Bronson and sister Carolyn (Timothy Jacobs) Jacobs, of Tampa, FL.
