I just learned of my friend leaving us. I have known Marvin since elementary school . What a fine person he was . I can´t say enough about him . A professional all the way. Dr Harold Jones

Mr Watkins was a dear friend. I dated his daughter while attending A&T university. I enjoyed going over to his home and listening to him and the late Reverend Chubbs go back and forth. He treated me like a son. Will me missed, a dear friend and a mentor. My late condolences Tripp Jones

Sincere condolences to Jamesena and the family. Marvin and his wife were friends of my husband Lafayette going back to college days. The friendship lasted over the years.

Our condolences and prayers for you remain strong. Sincerely, Pamela and Pete Hunter
