Very saddened, not to mentioned surprised to hear you had gone. You never lost your youthful mind; you had such a good friendly attitude. Marvin, you cannot be replaced because you were more than a barber; you were a friend first.

I will miss Marvin very much. He was one of the best men I ever had the Honor of knowing. We knew each other since I was in High School in the late 60's and was my Barber when ever I came to town. Rest in peace, my Brother. May God bless and comfort your loved ones. Sorry I couldn't be there for your Services, but you will always be in my memories. See you down the Road. Love you, Bro.

My dearest bubba! I can't except that you are gone so quickly. I will miss you most of all. I'll miss going to visit you and even though you were cutting hair, you still got up to kiss both cheeks and say; Hello seestar. I'll miss you so much!! I also remember how you took me in when I had nowhere to go. Not once but a few times. Jenny was not only my sister in law, but my sister and best friend. My love for both of you is so great! You were there for me when I had noone else. I could talk to you both and you would console me or tell me how the cow ate the cabbage and I was grateful for that. I'll miss your sweet smile and your kind words. I love you to the moon and back!! Your seestar, Janet
