I was saddened to hear of Marv's passing. He was a fellow bowler and friend. Many fond memories of the out-of-town bowling tournaments will always bring a smile to my face. My sympathies to his family.

Thanks to all of the people that have responded and helped take care of my wonderful Father's last needs. My Dad obviously had a lot of terrific people in his life and around him, and that has been so appreciated by us especially now.

A truly good soul. A friend, a dancer, a bowler, a mensch. He never lost his smile. I was truly saddened when I heard today. My sympathy to his family and to all who knew Marv (they were all his friends).
