We are so very sorry to hear of Marvin's passing. We are neighbors in The Oaks in Hunters Run. We enjoyed greeting Marvin and Barbara when we walked our dog Riley and they walked Benji. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are both so saddened to learn of Marvin´s passing. Dr. Marvin will always be remembered as the neighbor Dr. who came to the Bubbie´s rescue to take care of two little sick girls and their mother; and this big girl too on many occasions. Marvin always had a smile that made you feel special. Barbara and family: May his Memory be for a Blessing.
