 Over Marvin’s lifetime he wore many hats; some of those hats included working at the Times Union, in car sales, as owner and operator of two gas stations, thoroughbred horse owner, and breeder, and finally as a retiree of his own refuse business in 2016. Whatever Marvin set out to do in his life, he did it with 110% enthusiasm and success.

He would spend his summers in Henderson Harbour, NY, and the fall and winter months in Tennessee and Lake Bowen, SC.
