Marvin Ellis Aronson

...10 years later and I still think of you often, my friend.

Marvin was a wonderful man, a loving devoted father, a good friend. I feel blessed to have shared a little time with him this summer before his premature passing. My thoughts are with Shari, His sons and family members. Much love to you all. We miss you Marvin.

Marvin was a fine man. Professionally, he was an unflappable editor with good news judgment and much journalistic integrity. -- Kent Sturgis, Kenmore, WA

I'm deeply indebted to Marvin for mentoring me as a young journalist. He was brilliant and kind and a great friend, and I miss him dearly. Condolences to his family.

In Marvin's own words, ''I'm gonna miss that guy!'' He was my friend and favorite boss. You were always special to me, and all your Marvinisms live on!

I am very sad to hear of Marvin's passing. He used to check the first run of the News-Miner at the Big I, and as a new reporter I was fortunate to sit beside him as he variously shredded and praised every bit of those front pages. How can you both laugh and learn so much at the same time? In the newsroom, he was the one who, upon seeing someone had covered a tough story, would walk over and ask, "How are you?" Marvin was wise and kind, and he has left too soon. My deepest condolences to his...

Marvin was head of the copy desk during my years at the News-Miner. This was my first job after college. He impressed me with his quiet way of getting the paper out daily under deadline pressure. He was a good role model. My best to his family.

Marvin was an exceprional editor. I have fond memories of working together at the Fairbanks Daily-News Miner. I wish peace to his family.

Sourdough Jack hasn't been the same since you left the News-Miner. You are truly missed. Our best wishes to Sheri and family. RIP. - Julie Stricker, Fairbanks
