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.

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.

February 16, 2017

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.

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
