I have very fond memories of commuting to San Jose State with Marvin in the early 90's when we were both in the MSW program. Neither of us loved the program but riding with him made it fun. We had a great time trashing the program and the professors and talking about our lives and goals. When he worked at the County he was a big early supporter of the Community Connection program - he was on our first advisory board and he helped create the fun celebrations we had by bringing his band, the "Meltdowns." He had such a fun and generous spirit - I agree with Delores Manning that he was one of a kind. I lost touch with him after he left the County but have thought of him often. I have saved a picture of him with the Meltdowns at Community Connection and always planned on contacting him, getting together, and giving him the picture. I am so sorry he is gone way too soon. I will find a way to give the picture to his wife and family.
