He’ll join those who have preceded us and are now seating at the specifiers table in the sky. Marvin leaves behind his wife Helen, daughter Juliana, sister Janice and brother Lester, as well as countless friends. Marvin was a graduate architect who studied at Cal State Los Angeles and got his degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. He worked in Bakersfield upon graduation and then for Gin Wong in Beverly Hills where I met him and convinced him to join me when we created Specifications, Inc. A wise decision as he was a natural for specifications. That was more than 30 years ago. Although we parted ways, we remained great friends and had one passion, deep sea fishing. He was an accomplished photographer and could have worked as a professional photographer if he had chosen to do so. We will miss him dearly. A service will take place at 9:00 AM on 28 April, 2018, at the Old North Church at Forest Lawn Hollywood, 6300 Forest Lawn Drive, L.A, 90060. A light snack will follow the service. All are invited to come celebrate Marvin’s life. Colin Gilboy Publisher, 4specs.com 435.654.5775 - Utah
