I worked with Marvin back in the 80’s @ I.B.M he invited me up one weekend to help bail hay ,after that I made sure I was always busy on the weekends. Marvin was a good man, sorry for you’re loss
Marvin was a classmate. He was kind & he liked to have fun. He always was respectful whether it was a fellow student or adult. I’m sure you will be missing him for quite some time. Even though we didn’t keep in touch, he was someone you liked right away. God bless all of you,
