He was born on Oct. 13, 1932, in Monroe County to Lawrence and Viola (Roscovious) Hart. Marvin served in the U.S. Navy from October 1951 until October 1955 during the Korean War. During his tour of duty, he served in the Sixth Fleet on the Navy Destroyer USS Turner. Marvin’s service to his country had always been a great source of pride to him.
