Marvin’s favorite things in life were Carol and his family, his red pepper shaker and Tabasco sauce, his recliner and remote control, his birthday banana cakes, Cajun music, the “Camp” in Dayton, and collecting “stuff.” The family would like to thank the staff at Oak Grove Nursing Home and Kindred Hospice for their support, love, and care of Marvin.
