August 6, 1936 – July 30, 2021
We will remember our dad Marv as a loving husband to his wife Carol. He was a parent who shared life experiences and adventures which created a love of exploring the world for his family.
Marv began his career in Moville, IA teaching 7th grade science & coaching football. He then moved the family to Rochester in 1965 to begin teaching at Kellogg Jr High and then on to John Adams Jr. High until retirement. He maintained close friendships with many of the faculty from both schools. Marv managed to combine his love of teaching & travel by taking a year sabbatical, once in Germany and once again in Norway. Through his travels, he met a multitude of international friends who he visited often and remained friends to this day. During his lifetime, Marv saw & visited 46 countries whether it was through teaching or pleasure
