Funeral Details

I can not believe I will never see my "Darling" Marvin again. He brought so much light into so many lives, mine included . He had the best laugh in the whole world. I was very fortunate to call him my friend. Spending time with him was so special, whether we were going out to Brunch, taking him to run errands, sitting on the patio, or enjoying cocktail time with him. He truly was so special and one of a kind. He will be in my heart forever and I will miss him dearly.

Love you forever "Darling!

A man of man's. A true patriot for his country, a beloved husband to James for 54 years, and a valued FRIEND TO MANY. HE WALKS WITH JAMES ON THE SAND OF HEAVEN.

I am so sorry to hear of Marvin's passing. It was my honor to be Marvin's escort during his visit to the WWII memorial with the Chicago Honor Flights. He will always hold a special place in my heart. He was my very first Veteran and we had a wonderful day together. Marvin also received letters from my students for Veterans Day one year and he responded to them all!
Although we only spent one day together he made a life long impression.
RIP my friend,
Vicky Smith

Dear Marvin. 4300 N Marine will miss you. Tom and I are so fortunate to have known you in the short time we’ve lived here. Your soul will be present with many always. If anyone asks “is there dessert”, I will laugh and smile knowing that was always your special time. Love you!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all of you. We are so sorry we are not able to join you tomorrow in celebration for Marvin but we are so thankful for all he brought to our lives. He was our second brother! It’s fun to recall, in earlier years’ when James and Marvin came to Minneapolis. It was always an adventure. We would visit the Minneapolis Art Institute, and the Russian Art Museum, and other favorite places. Cooking for them could be challenging, as well as the “perfect cup of coffee” for Marvin. We struggled with that for years as Marvin referred to our coffee as tea. However, we finally got it…..when in doubt, add another BIG scoop! We are blessed many times over for the joy, love and laughter Marvin brought to our lives. Thanks to all of you, especially Jim Struthers and Shawn Marsh for your ongoing support, love and friendship to Marvin. The past 6 years were a struggle for him without James. Now, they are together again and we find comfort in that. We will miss Marvin dearly, especially in the morning when we called to enjoy a “perfect” cup of coffee together. In our hearts forever, Cherrie Walden and Terrie Hopkins ❤️❤️

The sad news of his passing reached the shores of South Africa. We have lost a big one. They don't make them like him anymore.

I had the good fortune to meet Marvin while working at "It's a Breeze" in Lakeside, Michigan. Michael and I spent many wonderful evenings with Marvin and James. They individually had the most interesting backgrounds and together they were incredibly talented entrepreneurs! Marvin was kind, generous and such fun! I am grateful for his friendship and the memories we shared.
