Marvin was united in marriage to the love of his life, the former Charlotte Marie Huff, on September 10, 1960 at St. Martini's Lutheran Church. Charlotte preceded him in death on April 12, 2009.

Marvin worked very hard on his family farm as a young man. He graduated from Union Grove High School in 1949. He graduated with a degree in accounting from Spencerian Business College in Milwaukee. Marvin proudly and faithfully served his country in the United States Army during Korea.   He was an accountant and chief operating officer for Burgess, Anderson, and Tate (BAT) Office Products until his retirement.

Marvin loved to play golf and played several times a week with his favorite groups of golfing buddies. He was a member of Mount Pleasant Lutheran Church and enjoyed singing in the choir. He loved his family tremendously and cherished every moment spent with them. Marvin will be dearly missed by all who knew him and loved him.
