Marvin BARKIN

Trudy, Tom, Pam, Michael and Family:
I am so sad to learn of Marvin's passing. He and I had a close bond, as my mentor, as my friend, as my cousin almost exactly 20 years older than I.
Yes, a terrible golfer, who nonetheless loved the game. I will miss him very much, but am heartened his suffering is now over.
Life is not fair, it is too short, it pains us so much when we lose someone we truly love.

All my love,
Sandy Estroff

So very sorry, Tom, Trudy and the rest of the Barkin family. Hugs to you all.

My condolences to Trudy and her family upon Marvin's passing. One of the great attorneys in the Tampa Bay area has left his unique, indelible mark on the lawyers with whom he worked and opposed - setting a standard that all of us hope to achieve. May his legacy continue among his family, the community and the members of the Bar by retelling the many vignettes he shared with each of us over the years.

My sympathy to Marvin's wonderful wife, Trude, and the Barkin family.Marvin was such a fine man and lived his life so well: Fine attorney, fine husband and father, fine member of our community and a fine democrat, in all senses of the word. He left his mark.
