Kim, ran across this by accident and didn't know your father died. So sorry and sad to find out. What a good man he was and what a great job he did with his family. You're a wonderful person and am most grateful to have a friend like you through school. He couldn't have a more wonderful daughter and I have him to thank for that. Sorry again.

Kim, I am so sorry for your loss. Marvin was should a sweet and friendly man. He always reminded me of my dad. They both had the same hair style and mannerisms. I know how hard it is to lose a dad. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.
Kim & Barry,
We did not have the honor of meeting Mr. Marvin but once. It only took a moment to see what a classy person he was. We also know what a wonderful spirit he must have had because we see that reflected in your care for people.
MiMi Dodie,
I don't have to tell you what kind of man Marvin was. We will always remember him for the happiness he brought you for many years and to the rest of our families, his kind spirit, and his loving heart. Marvin always made all of us feel welcome and we will greatly miss him. Personally, he reminded me of my grandfather who I greatly miss. I want to thank you and Marvin for asking me to be a pallbearer. It is truly an honor. We will all greatly miss him and hopefully can find peace knowing Marvin is now at peace in Heaven with our Father.
We love you much!
Jay, Jenni and Caroline Sciro
