Sad to read about this. I watched all of the original airings of "Frasier," and then watched the series a second time on DVD with my mom. He was one of those understated actors and had a very distinct voice.
When the series was in its original run, I read that John was born in England and had actually helped Jane Leeves with her Manchester accent, as that's where he had grown up.
RIP, Marty!

I didn't realize he was that young, 6 years younger than me when he started the role. Wow.
One of my favorite shows. He was a big part of the why.
