To Marvin, family was everything. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He never turned down a good card game or the opportunity to give you a big hug and kiss. His "New York" style humor always made those around him laugh. He loved his grandchildren and enjoyed attending their numerous sporting and musical events. He was an incredible man and will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him.

Ruth Jaffe would like to acknowledge and thank the angels with Grace Hospice, the loving attendants at Inverness Skilled Care/Inverness At Home, and lastly, Senior Helpers, especially Marsha and Tami.
