Marvin Allen Moore

Marv was a reassuring voice in the morning that all was well with the world.....a voice of kindness and hope in a sometimes tumultuous world. May he rest in peace and kindness and community.

My condolences to the Allen family. I first met Marv on a Fresno State MCJ field trip to his office in the early 1990's. Later, we served on the FAF board together for many years, and we had mutual clients when I was at KJWL radio. He was a mentor to many, a calm voice of reason, a creative genius, and had a great sense of humor.

Though miles and even oceans separated us through the years, Marv was always what a big brother should be--loving, kind, protective, supportive. I probably would not have taken up snow skiing but for Marv and our winter journeys to Badger Pass. I almost certainly wouldn't have become an avid water skier but for Marv, his boat, and summer days at Lake Millerton. Marv taught me that work and play each have their purpose, and that both require appropriate balance and intentionality. Marv...

The first thing i liked about Marv was his voice and I always enjoyed to hear the weather report along with is metaphors. My wife and I would drive to work in the morning while Marv was giving his weather report. His Metaphors would fill the space as I would burst out laughing. My wife would always ask why I was laughing as simply stated HES A FUNNY AND GREAT RADIO HOST. He will greatly be missed in our home,

His voice is what I knew of Marc. He started my days with a smile. That voice often felt like a cozy hug. He will be missed.

Marv was simply the best. A man of his word. A kind man with a voice that was friendly, authoritative and respectful of the copy he was given, or wrote himself. I spent hundreds of production hours with him, and every single time he asked for one more take because he thought he could do it better. He was right - it was always better. An integral part of the advertising community, it´s no wonder he was awarded a lifetime membership in the Fresno Advertising Federation. He worked hard, and was...

All of us have had events in our lives which were almost impossible to grasp. And for me the passing of gentle giant Marv pushes all of the others to the back of the line. It will take a long time to get over this. As a fellow KVPR announcer with the privilege of working with him for so many years, I listened to him and mentally took notes. And Marv, thank you for your perpetual smile.

I so enjoyed listening to Marv on KVPR and will miss him. Condolences to his family.

Marv has been part of my life for many years and I will miss hearing his kind, friendly voice nearly every day on KVPR. I will donate to FM89 in his memory and know it will be for the very best cause.
