Heartfelt sympathy to all the family,especially Lisa and Greg Krause, relatives, and friends of Marvin. He lived the good life of sharing, devotion to wife, family, church and community. He will be missed, but his memory lives on in the lives he has touch.

My deepest sympathy to the family. As a little kid, I remember visiting the Krause farm on the weekends to hunt tin cans. We always had a blast. I have great memories of your Dad. My love to you all.
