To Debbie and the rest of Marvin's family we were so sorry to hear of his passing. I saw him in the post office on Wed and he was asking about my husband so he could pass the news on to Doyle and also asked about Neil Chase, he was surely a great person and did so much throughout his lifetime. He will be greatly missed.

What do I say? Marvin was a truly special man! He was so kind. Always stopping to give me a hug whenever he saw me shopping in BJ's. He was a great boss and I was so glad to be able to work with him for the 10 years that I did. Bob always enjoyed talking to him about construction and woodworking. He always asked about the kids and was always happy to tell me what was new with his kids and grandkids, he was so proud of them! I will never forget him giving me things to bring home to my son when he was little. A Rustcraft t-shirt, a Rustcraft cup, a pin he had that he thought my son would like, all kinds of little things. He was so kind and generous. I learned alot from you Marv - Thank you and may you rest in peace!

Dear Debbie, Our hearts are broken. Marvin was an important member of our SRF class of 1964 'family'. More like a brother then a classmate. We treasure the times we have had and the wonderful opportunity to sit and listen to him sing and play his guitar. On behalf of the Class of 1964 I send you our love and prayers.
