Dear Penny and family, I was so sorry to see that Marvin had passed away. He was a wonderful, caring dentist as well as a friend. His quiet sense of humour always gave us a chuckle and some good memories. Thinking of you. - Posted by: Sandra Robson (Jones) (Friend ( Penny's former co-worker)) on: Mar 02, 2019
