I never knew Marvin in life, but on December 4, 2010 I had the opportunity to hear Marvin's Christian testimony on the Unshackled radio program. In thirty minutes I was able to see how he was transformed (Program #2810).

We send the family our sympathy. We admired Marvin with all his many talents from selling products to his music and painting. He was our dedicated mailman when we owned the Seminole Hotel in Lake Wales. May fond memories comfort you.
