There are so many memories of Marv and the family after being neighbors for over 40 years on Elm Drive. I remember going to his shops in Burnsville for haircuts (Ivy League) and gum all through school!! Also his snow blower with the metal wheel, he cleared our driveway numerous times and that was a welcome site for us sore armed kids!!

I remember Marv at a family reunion. He let the ladies talk, and he read the paper. What a sweet guy!

As a long-time friend of Keith's, I think back on our teenage years in the late 70's and recall Marv as a quiet, but witty man. He put up with our antics, music and various ski gear stored on Elm Drive. May he rest eternally with God.

My favorite memory with Grandpa is when we would go to the barber shop with him, he would let us go hunt for the spare key to the shop instead of using the key in his pocket. He hid it under a slab of carpet in a hidden hallway, I always felt like it was a scavenger hunt! Love you Grandpa, thanks for being the wonderful person that you are! Love you, Bethany

Marv was such a hard worker. We remember helping Marie move from Wisconsin to Apple valley and Marv helped move Marie's things in 90+ weather. He was a real trooper that day! He was a great dad to his kids - it was evident to all!
Our prayers are with you all,
Tommy & Becky Schlundt
