He started his own electrician business and later Sparkle Carwash Sales and Services, which he owned with his son. Marv’s hobbies included farming, taking motorcycle trips, going on Jeep rides, and he was always up for any outdoor adventure. He enjoyed going on hog hunting trips, fishing trips, and hunting deer with his cross bow.    Marv’s patriotism was second to none. He was a lifetime American Legion member and served as commander for several years. Marv was also a member of Doon First Reformed Church. He loved to cook and mess up the kitchen. Marv enjoyed watching his grandkids play sports and never missed a game. You could always find him in the stands cheering for the Alcester Hudson Cubs.
