Not sure what to say?

What a wonderful and man and inspiration. I only worked with him a short time but it was truly a learning experience that has helped me throughout my career. He touched many lives and is leaving a lasting memory.

We are very much missing this amazing man!

Marvin and I knew each other and did business since his days at High Tide. We then had an opportunity in our career to attend Harvard together at the same time which was a coincidence and it gave us an addtional opportunity to enjoy each other and spend quality time together. We were a major customer of Marvin's thruout the years while I had the pleasure of running Casual Corner.
Marvin was a quality person, a great business person and surely a visionary.
I am saddened to hear of...

Mr. Goodman was a "gentle giant". I was / am fortunate to work for him. His integrity, knowledge, guidance, friendliness and the work atmosphere he provided will never be forgotten.
My prayers and thoughts are with the Goodman Family.

Condolences,

My thoughts

I would like to wish you my deepest condolences. I enjoyed all the years I worked with Marvin and appreciated all the things he taught me. I hope the good memories of his full life are a comfort in this difficult time.

Marvin was a truly lovely man. In business ,I admired him enormously and learned a lot in the 10 years I knew him. He was someone who would just listen intently to all the issues in business and then just come up with a pearl of wisdom! He was a truly classy guy...i will cherish all the memories.My thoughts go to his family at this time.
