I was sorry to learn of Marvin's recent passing. Marvin was always willing to help my parents whenever needed and was a great friend to anyone in the neighborhood. He will surely be missed. My condolences to Beverly, William, Frank and Marvin's extended family.

Sorry to hear of Marvin's passing. Marvin, Beverly and the boys were neighbors for many years long ago. Marvin was always such a giving man, whenever a neighbor needed anything, Marvin was always the first to help out. A legend of sorts on east twenty-fourth. Marvin was "the man" to all the neighborhood kids, who loved to just hang out with Marvin, Beverly and the boys. Time has a way of separating us as we live our lives, but anyone who ever met Marvin, would always carry fond memories of him. - John Gregg
