Marvin Zissman Obituary
Marvin was the father of Steven and Scott (Lisa), and the beloved son of the late Irving and Celia Zissman. He was a dear brother to Mark (the late Beverly) and a devoted grandfather to Matthew (Kristie), Jason (Melissa), Jessica (Zach), Holly, Cara, and Danny (Heather). Marvin also took great joy in being a great-grandfather to Ezra and Nyra. He will be fondly remembered by his nephews Jeff (Cindy) and David (Mindy), by his many cousins and extended pharmacy colleagues and friends, and especially by his longtime partner Diane Biknis.
In accordance with Marvin's wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
Those wishing to honor Marvin's memory are encouraged to make donations in his name to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Marv was my boss, mentor, and friend at Coopers during my high school and college years. My wife Danette Maynard got into pharmacy because of Marv. He was a great friend to us and he taught me many lifelong lessons in responsibility and customer service, which I use daily in my business. Marv and I talked once or twice a year, he was always warm and interested in how our triplets were doing. I will miss our ocassional talks and my friend.
