Stephen Foster «Steve
The Barber» Martin, 63, of Amherst, and formerly
of Springhill, passed away at the Cumberland Regional Health Care
Centre on Tuesday, July 23, 2019 after a battle with cancer.
Born in Springhill, Steve was a son of the late Archibald William and
Alberta Maude (Gabriel) Martin.
Steve was a barber for 35 years
operating shops in Amherst and Springhill. He was community
minded and always had time for a chat. He enjoyed
sightseeing and long country drives. Steve was an avid
musician who enjoyed singing and playing the guitar. He had
a deep interest in local history, and in particular, the Springhill
area and its coal mines.
Steve was a sport fan and in particular
a strong supporter of the Toronto Blue Jays, The Toronto Maple Leafs
and the Amherst Ramblers.
Steve was known for his keen sense of
humour and his positive outlook on life, which he kept until the very
end. He had a strong faith in the Lord which he often shared
with others on Facebook and in conversation. He will be
dearly missed by everyone.

Estabrooks, Amherst; his son, Richard Martin (Lenore Kenney), Truro;
