Dear Marv I thought I would Google your name to check up on you . It´s been many years since my Ryerson days back in the 70´s. We met you again when you were teaching Auto CAD. Something I never engulfed. Rest In Peace.

Marvin interviewed me for acceptance into Ryerson's architecture school and was one of my professors. He cared about students, and I remember his optimism and enthusiasm. My condolences to his family.
