Marvin influenced the lives of so many young engineers through out his career, but none more than mine. His intelligence, leadership, and compassion were vital to an era in the oil and gas industry that will never be duplicated. I am privileged to have agreed, disagreed, hunted, laughed, joked, traveled, toasted, wrangled, and wrapped my arms around a man of his character. I will never know another one like him and will be fore ever grateful that I got the chance to call him a friend. I will miss him.
