He encouraged future generations of students in their scientific pursuits as a chief judge at local school science fairs for many years. Later on, after developing an avid interest in genealogy, Marvin researched his family history and enjoyed helping others research theirs. He loved helping people and was a great friend to all.”—Martha Ulman, daughter
