Cambridge- Martin "Uncle Mart" Wayne Dyke, 59, of Cambridge, NY passed away Friday, May 11, 2018 at the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington.

Born April 16, 1959 in Cambridge, he was the son of the late Wilfred L. Dyke and Lucy "Betty" Surdam Hayes.

Marty was an alumnus of Cambridge Central School and enjoyed watching and cheering for the CCS Indians as an avid football fan.

A cherished member of the family, Marty is survived by his sisters, Gloria Dawley and Deborah (William) Whalen of Cambridge, Wanda (James) Lomax and Wendy (Dhimitri) Kollar of McDonough GA, several nieces and nephews, & best friend Sean "Beaner" Ashton. Marty loved spending time with his family and was hoping to make one more trip to visit his beloved family in Georgia before his passing.

Marty enjoyed celebrating life and getting "way-hayed" with family & friends. Whether playing cards and yard games, watching NASCAR, the Giants, and the Yankees, or just sitting by a fire, he always looked forward to raising a cup to toast the people around him.
