I remember learning a lot from him. Hanging boats in the garage, letting me drive the motorhome and most of all, his welcome smile. Never forgotten, always admired. My sincere condolences to all.

Dear Kate,
Please accept deepest condolences from an old friend and sister in this journey. I knew Marvin from 30 years ago when he treated my student and I remembered him as a lovely person. May your loving memories sustain you at this difficult time.

Dear Kate and family, It was such a pleasure to have known Marvin for the two days I helped care for him. He touched my heart and I was thankful for the brief conversations we shared. He truly loved his wife and family. He was such a gentleman and funny in such a difficult time. My thoughts are with your family. Lisa RN

Closer by mail than otherwise, Marvin always manifested profound humanism and a deep love for his family. We shared some concerns and agreed with Leonard Cohen beautiful thought that light enters through the cracks of life...May the profound wound of his departure let some light in for Kate, his children and grand'children.
Our thoughts are with you.
