Thank you for sharing the news of my Dad, Marvin Greene's passing. He died of COPD. One month ago today. I arrived in LV on the evening of the 15th and got to spend five days with him before he passed in his sleep in the early morning hours of Feb 21, 2013. He as a very good man. Had lots of friends. I stumbled upon all of your comments by accident on my computer, but wow, it was really nice to read the comments about my Dad. The only time I ever regretted moving away from home was when I found out he was sick. He will be missed by so many!
Marvin was a true friend.He forgot more than i'll ever could hope to know. Brought me up in this trade always asked how my kids were doing. Loved you Marv. R.I.P Thank you.Will

Originally Posted by engineerdave Attachment 360691 Fair winds, shipmate. Dave, is that the tavern that Marvin used to like to go to? It looks like it anyway. Brenda and I bought him supper there when the AHR show was in Las Vegas......it's a quaint little hideaway off the strip that he sat and drank coffee and smoked cigarettes at to socialize.....he really liked the atmosphere and people there.....

I only knew Marvin a couple years, just long enough to wish I'd met him earlier on in my carreer. The things he taught me will last a lifetime. I'd promised him a zillion times in the last few weeks to come round and see him for coffee. Damn. There's just never enough time. I'm sorry Marvin. You will be sorely missed.

Brenda and I will never forget all the hard work he did for us and Digi-Cool.......and he NEVER asked for anything in return but a phone call and a good BS once in a while.....what a prince....RIP Marvin......and say Hi to Bill W. His daughter just called me and told me the news. For anyone that lives in the Vegas area, there will be a gathering for him at the Sahara saloon this coming monday evening at 7:00 PM. I too will miss Marvin, as he has taught me a great deal these last few years.
