For Kat and family, I hope you know that Marv was widely loved and had a lot of friends. Those of us who grew up with him, went to school with him, and have known him for a long time look back at his life with nothing but fond memories, and his vibrant spirit and zest for life will live on in our hearts. Please accept our sincerest condolences, thoughts and prayers, as the world has lost a loving soul. God bless. --Joe Diemer, DHS Class of 1988
