Joe Coulson, “We are very sad to report the loss of another precious club member. I was informed yesterday evening while traveling about the passing of our dear friend and long-time club supporter Marty Troxell. Marty was a wise businessman and collector. Early on he knew the jar hobby needed to embrace social media to connect with more people and broaden our horizon. He was instrumental in creating and running the Ball Jar Collectors group on Facebook, and he was the pioneer behind our club’s Facebook group here as well (Midwest Antique Fruit Jar & Bottle Club). Marty also actively participated and supported our club’s online virtual meetings which started a few months ago.”
