I had the pleasure of working with Stumpy at DuPont/B&R in Gregory back in the early 80's. He was a fine young man with great ambition and a kind heart. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends and my our Lord give you Peace and solace.

Marvin was my childhood fishing, hunting and playing football on the vacant lot buddy. And later in life him and his company help me at my Grill. See you on the other side buddy.

Their are no words I can express to ease the pain that has been left in the hearts of family and friends of Marvin. With the gruff exterior he had a very kind heart. He will be missed.

To my children I am so sorry you have to go thru the pain of losing your dad. I wish I could take all your pain away. To my grandchildren I am sorry that you lost your pawpaw just know that he loved you all and will always be with you. To Mildred, Brenda and Fellar I am so sorry for your loss. I wish there were words I could say that could take your pain away. Pam and Tyler I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you are feeling. And Marvin I will always be grateful to you for giving me my three beautiful kids and thank you for always showing Bailey kindness.

Michael and I are so sad that Marvin has passed away. He has been a good friend, a good neighbor and a fanatic fishing buddy to Michael. We will miss seeing him in the neighborhood. May you rest in peace Marvin.

Mildred we are so sorry for your loss.
I will always remember the times we went fishing you Feller, Marvin ,Jerry .
Feller and Marvin sure knew how to throw a cast net and run a first class sale line and how good the fish tasted later.
We appreciated and loved Marvin and the smile he always had on his face when he was fishing.
I'm sure he has a line in the water now fishing from his boat Blue wave.
Love Billy & Jean Henderson

Oh boss! I'm truly saddened by this news. You were a funny, blunt, hardworking, take care of everyone around you kind of guy! I know you will be missed! My thoughts and prayers go out to your children, and grandchildren. You were a rock that held many people together! At least now you're at rest and peace. Hopefully you get to fish all the time!!! Catch a big kingfish for me boss!
