He attended Christian Brothers Academy graduating with honors in 1947. He then enlisted in the United States Marine Corp and served for five years. On February 10, 1951, he married Alda Lou Hyatt at St Mark’s Church in Syracuse N.Y.

He began his career with GE/Honeywell Bull in 1952 in Syracuse. In 1967 the family moved to Arizona when GE/Honeywell Bull transferred Marv to Phoenix to become Manager of Personnel Accounting.

Marv also volunteered with Junior Achievement, and coached his children’s Pop Warner and Little League teams.
