The Good Morning Gloucester Family Is Heartbroken To Hear Of The Passing of Former GMG Contributor Marty Luster

Marty’s Son Brian writes:

Marty Luster: April 4, 1942–November 28, 2025

Hello. This is Brian Luster, Marty Luster’s son. I’m writing to let you know that Marty passed away on November 28 after a long illness. He died peacefully after celebrating a final Thanksgiving with his family. My mom, Barbara, was with him until the end.

In October 2009 I rode my motorcycle from Brooklyn, NY, to meet my dad for a weekend visit to Gloucester. We stayed in a room above the Crow’s Nest. It was a cold, wet weekend, and we spent much of it driving around the area. Gloucester and Joey worked their charm, and by Sunday, Dad decided he wanted to move there. And he and Mom did!

Dad found his people in Gloucester and was thrilled to be part of GMG. He loved showing off Gloucester to out-of-town guests, always going to the Boulevard and the back shore with a camera (or two or three). And he truly enjoyed making music with his acoustic jam.

Thank you to GMG and Gloucester for making my parents feel so welcome and for giving them a place to call home.

We are so lucky to have Rim Lay Thai. The new Thai food restaurant.

The food is so delicious, full of flavor and fresh. The service is excellent and the people are so friendly.

Great to have this option when you’ve gone to the same joints over and over.
