Not sure what to say?

Marv was one of the best men I have met in my life. He was not only my first real estate broker who helped to mould me as a Realtor, he also imparted many lessons about ethics, kindness and humanity that helped to shape me as a person. Even after he retired, we would check in with each other to catch up.

I am deeply saddened by his passing. I offer sincere condolences to Sheila, Bob and the extended Voss family. Blessings to you all. Please know that there are many people who...

So sorry to hear about Marv. I worked at Hearthstone and knew the Voss’ for about 7 years. Always the sweetest and kind couple. Love and prayers to Shelia and the family!

Marv brought me into the Stan Wiley fold just as the interest rates went sky high and the sale prices dove... but he was an ever present counselor and helped many of us through those tough times. His positive outlook was a guiding light. He worked hard to make sure we were team mates as well as individual Realtors. Thank you, Marv, for your leadership!

Sad to hear of Marv's passing.
I met Marv at Beaverton Rotary. He always welcomed me with a big smile that was so infectious. He was good humored with all the teasing about his jokes. The sparkle in his eye's when he would tell a joke will not be forgotten.

Sheila and Family, I'm sorry for your loss. I remember you and Marv from Atonement Lutheran quite awhile back! My husband Bruce had "atypical" Parkinsons and died earlier this year. With fond memories, Sue Barrett

I met Marv in '63, when he transferred from Sacramento to the Burroughs Portland branch. Marv was always a pleasant guy who enjoyed swapping sales stories.
Over the years we played a few rounds of golf together, attended a Blazer game, or joined common friends over lunch.
Sheila & family....take comfort in Marv's passing. He is now in the presence of Our Lord.
As a friend I will miss him. He was a joy...his friendship will be treasured forever.

He was a very positive person and always a joy to see

Great memories of Marv. At a Rotary event in Black Butte, Sandy and I spent the weekend sharing a house with Marv and Sheila. We also were sharing the house with a chipmonk. We spent a few entertaining hours trying to get the chipmunk out of the house. Marv had a big heart. Remember his smile and his silly jokes. Glad I was able to get to know Marv.

So sad to see this today. Two days ago I came across a note he sent me...I met Marv back in the ‘80’s at Stan Wiley. What a good man. He loved to laugh and always was upbeat.
Merry Christmas in Heaven Marv!! I bet you already joined the choir!!
