Over the course of his lifetime, Marvin and Mildred welcomed four beautiful children, six grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren. He devoted himself to his family and enjoyed many years of happy memories. He was always there for them whenever they needed him. Marvin was born with a wrench in his hand.
