It was a real pleasure to work for Marv as his Administrative Assistant at Meijer. He was a great boss with a big smile and a gentle laugh. Marv will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace.

MaryJo, We extend our sincere condolences to you and family on the passing of Marv. He was always smiling, a great person to be around. Greg worked with Marv at Meijer about 30 yrs. May God’s arms of comfort give you peace during these difficult moments in time.

So sorry to hear of Marv's passing. I worked for Marv at Meijer many years ago and he was the sweetest man. He was like my second dad, always gave me great advice professionally and personally. Know that your husband/dad was very well liked and someone we looked up to at Meijer. Rest in peace Marv.

Marv was a great man with that always BIG smile while working at Meijer. Always gave him crap about 'another boring straight shot by Marv' on the Meijer golf league. He will be remembered and missed. My condolences to the family. May he rest in peace and continue to hit 'em straight with his buddies in heaven.
