My first thoughts of Marvin are of a kind and gentle person who was a friend to all he encountered. Marvin was loyal to our Class and attended the 40th and 50th Reunions as well as our 70th Brthday Party at Manuels.

Marvin and I kissed and hugged at the 70th birthday party. I think he was fighting an illness then - but we were all so happy to see him. No one ever had a sour thought about Marvin - he was a sweet soul. Rest in peace.
