He was a lifelong member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Sheboygan. Marvin was employed at Polar Ware and retired after 43 years.
Marvin enjoyed golfing, going to the casino, fishing and bowling. A proud moment for Marvin was rolling a perfect "300 game". Family meant so much to him. He especially enjoyed time spent together up north making memories. He also enjoyed spending time with his many friends. He was a humble man, an all around good guy, with a great sense of humor. He will be missed dearly by all who knew him.
