Marvin was my lifelong sweetheart from Keystone days. He and Bob Colley were two of my first and best friends upon arriving in MD 53 years ago, and we shared many fun-filled adventures and shenanigans. Always held a special place in each other’s hearts it seems and I was looking forward to seeing him again next month. Heartbroken once again that the Universe had other plans. I will always love you dear friend Keep the lights on for us ????????????????????
