We just found out about Marvin's passing. We loved him very much and had sooooo much fun with him and Pat going to the horse races and "playing" bridge! We were not that good but they were so gracious to us and so patient with our lack of skills at the game. My mom and father were longtime friends and we became friends too. I am just so saddened by the news. Our deepest sympathy to you Pat and our prayers always. We have so long wanted to see you but respected your wishes for privacy for these last few years. We think of you often and love you dearly.
