I can't believe he's gone. Not really gone, but gone from us. Marvin was a good man and a great friend. If everyone who has ever been helped by Marvin signed this site, it'd crash. My condolences to the family and friends and God bless you all.The RameysBob, Freda, Paul

Marvin was a great addition to our family. He had a great laugh! And you have never been hugged until you were hugged by Marvin. He made everyone around him feel comfortable and welcome. He will be truly missed. You were loved by all!
My family and I came to Oregon City United Methodist Church around October 2008. The very first person I met was Marvin! He opened the door and greeted us with a smile. He was so pleasant and loving. You could tell he really cared about us, as if he had known us forever. First impressions say alot! I/We had moved from Pennsylvania to Oregon in August 2008 and needed to find a new church. Well, I searched the phone book and found OCUMC and we decided to go. I am so fortunate to have Marvin as my first experience with the church because like I said, first impressions say alot and OCUMC became my new church home. Marvin was the first person to show me what love is within OCUMC. I enjoyed being at church every Sunday. I would look for Marvin and Marsha to greet them both with a hello and a hug. Marvin would greet people at their cars with umbrellas in the rain and with a big smile. You will truly be missed Marvin. As simple as this sounds, Marvin was just such a nice man! A really nice/good man. Thank you God for letting Marvin enter my path and introduce me to a beautiful loving person and wife, and a to a chuch I love and could call home. My sincere and deepest condolences to you Marsha and your family. I loved Marvin, as did many others, and as we say at OCUMC "there's nothing you can do about it!"
