    I always appreciated Marv. He was growly, gruff at times, but he always showed me a kindness the rest of the world did not get to see. I never knew what would be going on when he would pull up to the swimming pool during my time there, but most generally, he had a kind word and made me feel very appreciated my work for our community. My heart goes out to his family and those he shared laughs with. I'll be thinking of all of you. - Posted by Cris Ness on December 20, 2022
