After retiring, the couple made their home in the Hillman area on Hannah Lake, where they enjoyed the great outdoors and Marvin was able to enjoy his passion for gardening, ice fishing, reading, and traveling. Marvin was also actively involved in his community, lending his support to the Hillman American Legion Post, the 40/8, the Hillman Lions, and the Memorial Rifle Squad at the Minnesota State Veteran's Cemetery.

He is survived by his loving wife Lois; his children, Jeffrey (Kirsten) Weiss of Shoreview, MN, Jason (Andrea) Weiss of Cape Elizabeth, ME, and Angela (Randy) Schlede of Rosemount, MN; his cherished grandchildren, Nicholas, Andrew, Elsa, Virginia, Luke, Vollie, and Abigail; his siblings, Marlene (David) Klein, Jerry (Kathy) Weiss, David Weiss; sister-in-law, Doris Weiss; in-laws, Jerry and Luella Peterson; and sister-in-law, Karen Blackstad.
