My sympathy to Marv’s family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Marv will be missed. I always enjoyed our communications and will forever remember the trip to Italy. I always loved his positive demeanor and his ability to stay active doing things he loved.
God bless you Bonnie and all your family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you peace and strength and happy memories during this time.
I am so sorry to hear of Marv’s passing. My prayers are with you all.
I was saddened to hear of Marv’s passing. I met Marvin only a few times and was impressed by his gentleness and kindness. The last time was less than a month before he passed away. At that time we got into a conversation about Scotland and he promised me a copy of his book, which he dropped off later that same day. What struck me was that even in his own difficulties and pain, he thought of what he could do for me. I never got the chance to thank him for the book. Thank you for the book Marvin, and more importantly, thank you for your example of kindness and thoughtfulness in a world in which it is sorely needed.
We are so sorry to hear of Marvin’s passing. Bonnie & family, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry to hear of Marv’s passing. He brought great inspiration with him every time we visited.
I am so saddened to hear of Marv’s passing. My best to his wife Bonnie, children, great grandchildren and his entire family. I had the very great pleasure of working with Marv during my career with Arizona Electric Power Cooperative and later with the re-structed Arizona G&T Coops. I learned a great deal from Marv and enjoyed very much the time we spent together through good times and bad. When I think of him I will always think of him shooting his age or less on the great golf course we hope to shoot par on. All my best to you Marv and thanks for the life lessons you shared.
I am so sorry to hear of Martin’s passing. I will miss our golf talk at his dental visits, I thought about him as I was watching The Masters. My thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones.
I had the privilege of working for Marv when he was CEO at Wright Hennepin Electric. He was my boss at the office, and my racquetball opponent on the weekend. Marv excelled at both. His professionalism, integrity and ethics were 2nd to none. Family always his top priority. Sincere condolences.
