  1. Marvin, I can’t even begin to say how sad I am to hear about your passing! You always knew how to make me smile even in my
    worst times! I loved spending time with you at church and at Camp Indian Sands every summer! You will be so greatly missed by me and everyone at First Lutheran!!!! Fly high sweet angel and have tons of fun in Heaven!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

  2. As a life guard at the BCMC I spent a lot of time visiting with Marvin. He continually expressed an interest to me in learning to swim independently. We started having weekly swim lessons. Week after week we swam and while I was supposed to be the one giving the lessons, Marvin taught me more about life than I could ever have taught him about swimming. He taught me that every day is worth smiling about, he taught me that hard work will always lead to progress, he taught me not to judge others, he taught me that laughter is the best medicine (Marvin had an amazing laugh), he taught me that age is irrelevant in friendship and most importantly he taught me how to be happy.

    I no longer live in the Bureau County area, but I know for a fact the streets of Princeton will not be the same without Marvin and his bicycle.

  3. Marvin always had a smile on his face, and was an immense joy to be around and work with. You will always hold a special place in my heart Marvin, and will be missed greatly.

  4. Marvin was always a sweet and kind man. My first memory of him was at the Alexander Pool when i was growing up. He lived across from my parents and when my oldest son was learning to ride his bike Marvin was outside watching and cheering him on! He was a great man with a wonderful spirit!
