Not sure what to say?

Was looking thru some old photos and came across this one of my Mother (Bonnie Henry Peacock) and my Uncle Marv. I don't remember ever meeting him personally however I think he looks so much like my Grandfather Sigmund... tall & handsome. My condolence's to his family for his graduation. I certainly wish I could have met him... he sounds like a great man. Nancy Peacock Taylor

I remember Marv on WTAR doing all sorts of voices. The voices and his humour are unsurpassed. We were lucky to have him in the Hampton Roads market.

To the Henry Family...It was my pleasure to work with Marv back in the 70's at WFOG/WLPM radio stations. He was full of talent and class and always took great joy in helping others. Bravo Marv!

Dear Henry Family,

I never met Marv, but heard a lot of great things about him during my 10 years in Hampton Roads radio.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Mrs. Henry,
I had the extreme pleasure of working with Marv for many years at Studio Center. He was an amazing teacher. I was always in complete and utter awe of his talent and wit. I will always cherish our Film Nior chats... scratch that- I will cherish every memory of him that I have.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Crizti Walsh

When I moved to Hampton Roads, Marv was one of the first people I met. We immediately hit it off together when he discovered that I, too, was a war movie buff and amateur historian. When I engineered and produced at Studio Center, Marv and I would talk between takes and after recording about some actual war event or, in most cases, the hollywood version of it. In spite of our age differences, Marv always treated me as an equal and a professional. I'll miss him more now and will always...

I was one of the guys responsible for bringing Marv to WAVY back in 1964. He has to rank as one of the best things that ever happened to Tidewater Broadcasting. Marv was a fantastic talent who always had time for others. His talent, his wit, his willingness to do whatever it took to get the job done, will always be remembered.

If God ever gets a sore throat, He now has Marv to help out.

May his soul find eternal peace and rest and may God comfort those Marv left behind. He was...

I will always remember with great joy the tales Marv wove about Hollywood, and the golden years of radio and television. His quit wit and wry sense of humor never failed to make me laugh. The "Green Room" at Studio Center was always a pleasant place to wait as long as Marv was there. I will keep him always near and dear to my heart.

Marv was a great talent and a credit to the Tidewater broadcast industry.
His vocal style will always be remembered by us who knew him, please accept our condolences...
