He did retire and is living with family in Arizona. I have known Marv for 40 years. He is a true gentleman who gave his life to this sport. He will be missed

Saw somewhere on Facebook he had to retire for health reasons and is in assisted living.
I met him a couple of times and he was truly a nice guy.  tmbz1
