Many memories of fishing with Marvin. I think his favorite quote was "don't sleep with a drip, call a plumber"
I will mis his great sense of humor and gentle ways.

Marvin was a friend for many years. Always wearing a smile and sharing it with others. It saddens me that this world has lost him but I delight that he is now truly and angel and that he has family to carry on his charm. I will always smile simply at the thought of Marvin.
May his memory be eternal.

We all will miss Marvin so much. I was so lucky to have grown up just one house away from him. His mom and dad were like my other parents. He was like a big brother. Although 7 years older than me, he included me in many of his adventures, his little cousin. Great memories include driving in his convertible, sitting in the back seat of an airplane when he took flying lessons, night raids on neighboring summer gardens with salt shakers for tomatoes, fishing, fishing, fishing. I will always treasure those memories. As adults, we stayed in each other’s lives and I am so grateful of that. Any time with Marvin was a good time. Cheesy jokes that always made me laugh. He helped my family and I many times. I will always love him. Marvin: Always a kind word. Always a laugh and smile. Always caring.
