I saw Marvin at the grocery store the week before he went into the hospital. He talked to me about two people: Jan and Paul. He was such a friendly guy, always ready with a smile and laugh, we will miss him at Holy Family.

Marvin was a dear family friend. He would always offer a helping hand. I cannot count the times our family relied on Marvin’s help and skills, mostly with old car projects. His laughter is unmatched and my favorite memory. He will be missed by the Harrold family. Praying for you, Jan, and all of the family.
