Master Sergeant Peavy had room in his heart for all of his Soldiers and he displayed that caring attitude. He treated people with respect and in turn was respected by contemporaries and peers alike. What a genuinely nice man. Marv had an infectious laugh and was always ready with a good word. Marvin is making them laugh upstairs. Willsey, CSM(retired) 42d ID

I join Marvin's many friends from the New York Army National Guard who miss his ready smile, can-do attitude and years of dedicated service.

Sorry for your loss, Marvin and I worked side by side over 20 years ago in MNOT, he helped me out quite a lot on the job and always had a sincere attitude and broad smile across his face. Although I haven't been in touch with him, he was often thought about when I use to think back to the "good old days".
