Not sure what to say?

I worked at AvTech Labs when Marv was VP. He was the type of guy you wish you had more time to learn from. Not only scientifically but life in general, he was greatly blessed by the Lord. I look forward to seeing him in Heaven.

My condolences to the family. Marv was one of my favorite people with whom I worked. He was a friend who provided insight earned by his broad experiences. I really enjoyed hearing his stories of fabled baseball players.

Dr. Grostic was an inspiration, as a scientist, manager and mentor. He brought together scientific rigor and warm humanity in his dealings with those of us privileged to work with him. Condolences to the family. And Marv, thank you for the time we had together. God bless you, rest in peace.

I was privileged to have worked for Marv at Upjohn. He was truly a role model in every aspect of life.

Sending sincere condolences to the family - may God be your comforter at this difficult time. I interacted extensively with Marv starting in 1995 when he was chair-elect of our Kalamazoo Section of American Chemical Society as his interest in, and support for, our educational programs for high school young people remained strong even in his retirement years.
