Marvin could hit a 9 iron with the greatest of them. I don't know how he did it. We lost a great man, and I lost my fishing buddy. I might start using a Snoopy pole now in his honor. Now I need to catch my "Walter".
Rest In Peace.

Marv was a great guy. I golfed with him, I bowled with him, and drank with him. He was my fathers cousin, best friend, and "the other brother"
Rest in peace Marv and try to keep those that you are joining in line.
