So sorry to hear the sad news. Ron S. sent me an e-mail a couple days ago. Dave W. told me about Marv's condition during the family visitation for my mother in July. Since, I've thought of Marv ofter and remmbered the years when our fathers sang in the quartet.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To the family of Marvin
I want to extend my sympathies for the loss of a good man. I had the opportunity of knowing Marv while he was a cattle buyer. It was always good to enjoyable to visit with him, even when we couldn't agree on a price.

Marla I have no words that would express my sincere condolences. I as well as the rest of us girls here in clinic saw him through a lot, shared laughs, jokes and good stories, always walking into the clinic with a smile and a positive attitude no matter what. Marvin was a very sweet and a special person and will be missed by all here in our clinic. We are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers and our hearts go out to you in this time of sorrow with the hope that time will heal.
Our sincere condolences,
