Marvin retired in 1977. Shortly after retirement Marvin and Barbara moved to their Cedar Creek Lake home where they enjoyed many years of wonderful memories with family and friends. They just recently moved to Arlington, TX.

Marvin always had a love for motorcycles; during retirement he enjoyed fishing, riding his golf cart around the neighborhood, and working in his shop at Cedar Creek. Dandy, their little yorkie, was never too far away from him. Marvin was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. We will forever miss our PawPaw, but are comforted by the lasting memories we can all share.
