Marvin grew up working in his family's business, Cleveland Variety Store, on the near West Side of Cleveland. He successfully ran the store until 1986 when he transitioned to his second career as a residential real estate agent. He had a strong work ethic and was always regarded as an easy-going person who got along with everyone. He enjoyed sports, played softball, badminton, ping pong, and doubles tennis until he was 85. He will always be remembered as one of the biggest cheerleaders of his hometown, Cleveland.
He met his wife, Beverly and married in 1954. Together they had a wonderful family life built on working together in the family business, raising their family, and celebration of Jewish holidays, Thanksgiving, and family cookouts.
His pride and joy were his family and friends. Whether it was sporting events, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, graduations, and weddings, he wanted to be there to celebrate the milestones. When his son was elected to public office, he met Governors and Presidents, enjoyed the proud moments, but took it all in stride.
He and Renee had a wonderful 32 years together, traveling all over the world and enjoying the company of a large group of friends. Moving to Delray Beach gave them the chance to enjoy the Florida lifestyle for many years and make new sets of friends.
Since his retirement, Marvin returned to his more observant roots by attending Shabbat services regularly at B 'nai Jeshurun in Cleveland, and when he moved to Florida, at B'nai Torah Congregation with his son, Ron.
Contributions in his memory can be made to B 'nai Torah Congregation/TLC Program, Boca Raton, Florida, or B'nai Israel, Tustin, California.
