At the young age of 15 he worked for the railroad, a passion he carried with his collection of trains. Marvin enlisted in the United States Air Force and served from 1950 to 1954 and served as a mail carrier for the Pentagon. In 1953, Marvin was united in marriage to Georgia F. Hall in Washington D.C. and they later divorced. In 1980, Marvin married Janet Thobe who passed away in May of 2018.
