Over Marvin’s lifetime he wore many hats; some of those hats included working at the Times Union, in car sales, as owner and operator of two gas stations, thoroughbred horse owner, and breeder, and finally as a retiree of his own refuse business in 2016. Whatever Marvin set out to do in his life, he did it with 110% enthusiasm and success.

He was a proud supporter of Shriners Hospital for Children and a member of the Masonic Lodge ERAC 154. Marvin enjoyed car racing, hunting, fishing, traveling, and vehicle shopping (window only). He would spend his summers in Henderson Harbour, NY, and the fall and winter months in Tennessee and Lake Bowen, SC.
