When Martin (Mortimer) Nathan Margolin and his twin brother Lawrence were born on June 30, 1923, in Chicago, Illinois, their father, Benjamin, was 43, and their mother, Minnie, was 37. He married Florence Hershkowitz on February 12, 1956, in Los Angeles, California. They had three children during their marriage. He died on December 13, 2016, in Northridge, California, at the age of 93.

He was a highly regarded Structural Engineer who worked until a month before he passed away. The company he last worked for dedicated their new building to him!

Martin (Morty) peacefully left us on December 13, 2016, surrounded by family. He was a man with never a mean word, always a laugh about himself, and unending love for his family. He served his country during WWII. As a highly-respected structural engineer, he designed the tram at Busch Gardens along with numerous iconic buildings. Following the Northridge Earthquake, already after his retirement, he returned to engineering with Alpha Structural and continued for another two decades, until just a month before his passing at 93! Truly a remarkable man who will be missed by his loving wife, Florence, children Michelle, Marc and Brad, son-in-law Dan, daughter-in-law Lisa, and grandchildren, Erica, Joelle, Micah, Adina, Justin and Ryan.
