Marv enrolled in the University of Wisconsin on the G.I. bill and graduated with degrees in Marketing and Electrical Engineering. Marv utilized his engineering acumen in selling printed circuit boards across the United States and internationally. He was always a top earner at various companies including Circuitwise and Westwood Associates. Marv was an athlete growing up, playing both basketball and football which he enjoyed watching as an adult. Go Packers! Marv traveled to Las Vegas and other top courses to enjoy a round of golf with his school chums where he also developed a perpetual sunburn. Marv was a founding member of a group of guys who went to Pinehurst for a golfing weekend every June for the last 25 years.

Marv was the life of every party. He enjoyed life to the fullest and as Frank Sinatra sang “did it his way.” He had life-long friends who loved him. He made everyone around him feel special. There will never be another Marvelous Marv.
