I will always cherish my memories of participating in the shooting sports with Marv. He was a patient, wise, personable guy who I really grew to appreciate. I had many a conversation with him about his faith in Christ and was assured he new where he would be when the time came. I will see him again when I pass and will smile a great big one when again we see each other. Rest in peace my Brother!

Marvin was the Son of my Mom´s (Leona Ogle) childhood friend, Juanita. We grew up spending time with her family, and my Brother´s Paul, Tom, Jim, were close in age to Marvin. I have happy memories of those long gone days. Marvin was a good hearted guy and still kept in touch with Paul when he was in the nursing home, even dropping by to drop off take out food. Paul appreciated his friendship. May they all get together in Heaven! Rest peacefully, Marvin.

The most extraordinary human being in my life. I am who I am because of my dad. His example was filled with love, kindness, patience, faith in God, and so much more. I love you Daddy and you will be in my heart each and every day.
