Sorry to hear that. It's been a long time since I've been in there, but Marv always treated me well.

Rest in peace.

He was always quite good nice to deal with when I went in there. He could be dealing with a challenging customer and still offer kind words to me. Some of my best gun shopping memories were dealing with Marv when my father was still alive. He will be missed for sure....RIP.

How many years did he work there?

Wow.
RIP, Marv :cry:
Despite our many differences, Marv was always a great friend to me. When I was jonesing for something new, he'd somehow find it for me.
And what beautiful gardens he and Star had...

Marv was the only one I really enjoyed talking with.

R.I.P. Marv - you are missed already.

We had a moment of silence for Marc this morning at the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus Annual Meeting.

He will be missed.

I met Marv through his For Sale posts here on MN Guntalk. I purchased a bunch of .223, .308 and 5.7x28 from him last fall.

The last text I got from him was on December 10th and I asked him about his cancer? He told me that the cancer was winning, that he was off the chemotherapy and all other option had been exhausted. I met Star and, although I only knew him a short while, I got the sense that Marv had an uncanny knowledge of firearms and shooting sports in general. Sorry that he was taken so soon.
