  2. Mesa AZ
    I enjoyed all the years working together at SUPERVALU and the many years of friendship in retirement. May prayers go out to Beverly and family.

  3. I enjoyed getting to know Marvin through Roger Maris. He was my buddy and I loved to visit with him and Beverly when they came in for his appointments. I will miss Marvin very much as he was an amazing man in the short time I got to know him. Rest in peace! Marvins family is in my thoughts and prayers.
