Marvin was a friendly, outgoing, positive man. He was a walking book of sports information. He knew it all! Really enjoyed being around him.

Mr. Stendel was a kind, hard working man. Everyday on the farm he was busy , hauling rock, cutting grass, doing something to improve his place. He always took the time to wavy or speak to people passing. He will be missed. RIP kind sir.

My Uncle Marv was kind and loving Uncle that enjoyed his family including all of us nieces and nephews. I have many fond memories of our family camping trips, picnics, and other events. We will miss him and we pray for comfort and peace for the family.

We love you and miss you dear Uncle Marv. I loved it when you lifted me up as a small girl and called me "twinkle twinners". My twin sister Jean and I will always remember the wonderful family times we had with you and Aunt Char. Gone but loved and will never be forgotten. From the Wes and Jane Vaughn family in Georgia
