I used to work for Marvin at Kenny Roger's Roasters with his daughter, Diane, a long time ago. So sad to hear of his passing. He was always so calm and easy to get along with. Never afraid to admit if he was wrong for something. I am happy to hear he is with the Lord. I am sad for his loved ones. Praying for you.
