My sister, Phyllis A. Luster Gaier, May 21, 1938 – July 22, 2016.
Phyllis loved her visits to Gloucester and often told us how smart we were to retire here. She was right about that and just about everything else.

I'm Marty Luster, a retired attorney and politician. In 2010 my wife, mother-in-law, dog and I relocated from Central NY to Gloucester. I hope my photographs and poetry(?) reflect my love for this place and her people.

Thank you all so much for your words and thoughts. Phyllis’ 3 year battle with colon cancer followed the deaths within a year of her favorite aunt, our mother and Phyllis’s husband. She also suffered a broken ankle and nearly lost her home to Hurricane Sandy. Each event made her stronger and she passed in peace, acceptance and dignity.
To mourn her loss amidst the beauty of Cape Ann and its people is the most Barbara and I could hope for. Thank you for taking us into this wonderful community.
