Marv was elected to the Athletic Hall of Fame at Beaver Dam High School and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. He served on the UW-Whitewater Athletic Hall of Fame Board, was a member of Sigma Tau Fraternity, coached youth baseball and football, and volunteered on committees at Windsor UCC. He was an avid fan of the Packers, Brewers and Badgers. Marv was fortunate to obtain 3 holes-in-one during his years of playing the fantastic game of golf. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing. Above all, Marv enjoyed spending time with family and friends. The cultivation of his closest relationships was the key to his fulfilled life.
