      Marlin was one of my best friends through high school and after. I had just reestablished contact with Marlin after Marilyn died. I knew Marilyn too. I knew Marlin’s mother well. They were all great people. Condolences to all the family that is left behind . I am sure that they will all have fond memories of him as I have.
