I was shocked to hear today that a long time friend has left this earth. Marvin & I became special friends a long time ago. We started as co-workers but be came much deeper. Even though we went out separate ways I thought of you often. I am gald I was able to tell you how you meant me over the years. You will be truly missed. Thanks for the memories.
May the God of all comfort engulf you with His peace and strength. His word says, He is close to the broken hearted. May you feel him near you today and always. Love you always Cyndi G and family
Donna and I were so shocked and dismayed when we learned today about Marvin's passing. He was the best man at our wedding and he was always a "best man" to me and all that knew him. He would give you the last dollar in his pocket if you needed help. I knew him since the early 1980's and after each of us retired we would exchange phone calls on our birthdays to wish each other well. I always looked forward to those calls. He will be missed greatly by us.
I thank god that I was able to share space and time with you. You taught me sooooo much. I'm grateful for the lessons.... and I will always remember to use "Eagle Brand" in my banana pudding ☺️ Love you !! -Rhea Hill

Marvin was the best! He was a friend, colleague, and a man of true integrity. His selflessness was unmatched. His love of family was always apparent.
