Marvin, I can't believe your gone. You were a great boss, taught me everything about Southern. You were a great friend, and you were a great guy. Those are the reasons why we all loved you. 0ur discussions on the van were something else. You made our days filled with laughter, sometimes. I will miss you and think of you every day. It was my pleasure knowing you. Sleep with the angel's my friend. Till we meet again. Love you.
