Marvyn loved and embraced life; he grew up in London township. Family has always been important to Marvyn, and he held his family close to his heart.
Marvyn always was fixing or tinkering with anything he could get his hands on. He had many jobs before he settled in working at Labatt in London, where he worked as a millwright for 35 years. Donna and Marvyn worked together on the farm for many years. They enjoyed camping, travelling all over Canada and US, close to all our hearts was camping at Bass Lake. Donna and Marvyn love to tour in their 1936 Chev Cabriolet, with this car they toured across Canada in the “Coast to Coast in 2000.” Both were known to stop in and grab the grandkids and great grandkids in the 36 Chev, to go for ice cream treats. All the children, grandkids and great grandkids enjoyed Grandpas love of Chocolate. Together they visited many dance halls during their travels near and far. Marvyn followed his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren’s hockey (all over Ontario for many, many years), baseball, soccer and figure skating events. Marvyn and Donna travelled frequently with their Old Car Groups TRI-Lakes Region HASC, VCCA Club, Heritage 35, Tri County Heritage Club, where they met many lifelong friends.
