Bless You and Keep You Strong. Karen Milburn "Wilson" #18 from: Jack & Laura Williams Coupeville, WA Wed, Feb 18, 2026 at 1:30 PM Jack and I send Marv's family our deepest condolences at his passing.  We've been away from Ohio for 50 years but Jack will ALWAYS remember going fishing and hunting with Marv when they were growing up.  After graduation in 1961, our life was spent away from Ohio and, sadly, our family and friends.  Jack last saw Marv when he went back to attend his brother, Merrill's, funeral and Marv  came up to Jack and said "I bet you don't recognize me, do you?".  He was 100% correct - Jack didn't recognize his longtime friend.  While you never forget those you knew from childhood, time has a way of changing outward appearances - in other words, we AGE.  I know Jack was delighted to see his "old friend" and will now reflect back on "the good old days".  Love to all - Jack and Laura Williams #19 from: Sue Argo   Wed, Feb 18, 2026 at 7:51 PM Connie.   I am truly sorry.   Doc was such a great guy. Love to you and your family. Fondly Sue #20 from: Douglas & Patricia Wilson 28570 Grindell Road Richwood,Ohio 43344 Thu, Feb 19, 2026 at 7:23 PM So Sorry for your loss.
