I wish I had known Marvin before his cancer. I was still blessed to meet him in his home and treat him for physical therapy. Loved his sense of humor.

My beloved neighbor of 11-years. 2-doors down. He helped me hang Christmas lights, always replaced my curbside light, fixed my fences and gates, was a grandfather figure for my children. He helped Liam restore his dresser, taught him to be a "maintenance man" and take good care of "Dolly" his little sister. Marvin delighted in my children and played basketball with them in his driveway. My children made many pictures, school projects, etc. for Mr. Marvin and thought of him as part of the family as they made sure to deliver each of them personally. This past year, Liam tended to his yard as Jan tended to Marvin. He was full of stories of his time serving with the Army, which was not only historical for the kids, but fascinating. He always rode on the Veteran's Float in the Veteran's Day parade and shouted down to us. "Hello Dolly, Hi Liam!" Marvin touched our hearts and is/will be missed.

I join with so many others who knew Marvin in offering my deepest sympathy on his passing. 

The measure of a life well-lived is not in how much money one has or what possessions they have accumulated, but rather through the lives they touched and the sorrow they leave behind. If the outpouring of sympathy on his loss is any indication, and it most certainly is, you can proudly and confidently say that his indeed was a life well-lived.

May you find peace and comfort in knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him.

In Sympathy,
Kimberly Myers

My deepest sympathy. I hope you remember who i am. We went to church as kids. Your father was a very kind. I will keep you all in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. It was my pleasure getting to know Marvin through his years of playing tennis at Lynmar. He had a very gentle spirit, and was always so sweet to me. RIP!!!!

Jan and family, I will be thinking of you tomorrow. Wish I could be there to help celebrate his life.

Jan,
I am so sorry to read of Marvin's passing. You both have always remained a favorite GRRR family of mine. I recall our home visit often remembering how much I enjoyed your stories of travels and adventures. It was truly a privilege helping bring your beautiful Goldens into your loving home. I always enjoyed the dog related emails Marvin sent my way. May much love surround you during this difficult time. I am thinking of you and sending many prayers your way.
