Marv will be missed! Marv sold me horseradish- the absolute BEST- and attended church with me at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I always enjoyed the stories he'd share with me about his latest (mis)adventures! I will miss his smile! Marv was a warm, kind, gentle, compassionate man! Much love to his family- You are in my heart, thoughts, and prayers!
