Marvin was a friend of our family for over 40 years, and also a trusted counselor to many of us. He was a terrific husband, father and grandfather, and must have been quite proud of his legacy when he passed. I will miss him.

Marv was an outstanding fraternity brother who made our fraternity proud. Our first UM Iron Arrow. While we were out of touch he was never forgotten and often mentioned when some of us got together in recent years. TDPhi, Marv, rest in peace.

We have known Marvin for over 60 years and consider him a wonderful friend and human being. He was responsible for introducing us together in the Miami Hurricane business office in 1954. He will be truly missed.
