Marvin Friedman, 96, passed away on March 3 in Warminster, Pennsylvania.
Marvin Friedman was born in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of the late David and Charlotte Friedman of Overland Park, Kansas. He was the loving husband of his wife, Vivienne, and father of two daughters, Melissa (Howard) Fear of Arvada, Colorado, and Janice (Stewart) Gritz of Yardley, Pennsylvania. Marvin is survived by four grandsons, David Gritz, Isaac Gritz, Samuel Gritz and Cameron Fear; and great-grandson Sebastian Gritz.
Marvin served proudly in the United States Navy at the end of WWII and during the Korean War. After the war, Marvin, Vivienne, and their daughters settled in Boulder, Colorado. Marvin spent seven years in the furniture manufacturing business in Denver, Colorado. He then worked as a senior principal industrial engineer at Rocky Flats for 22 years before retiring in 1988. Upon retirement, Marvin and Vivienne moved to Laguna Hills, California, where they lived for 18 years before moving to Langhorne, Pennsylvania, and finally to Ann's Choice in Warminster.
Marvin had an active lifestyle and enjoyed playing tennis, golf, hiking and traveling with his wife and daughters. Together, they built a mountain cabin in Dillion, Colorado, where they went skiing and fishing. Marvin had many talents: he had a witty sense of humor and was a craft jeweler, ceramic artist, award-winning karaoke star, expert negotiator, and, above all, a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather and husband.
Graveside funeral services were held at King David Memorial Park in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, on March 6. In lieu of flowers, please make donations of your choice to your favorite charity.
