Renee(Mrs. Schulman) and Family, I'm so sorry to hear of Marvins' (Mr. Schulmans') passing. I have many fond memories of him and the many things he did with my Dad. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Debi Coyle

Dear Renee and Family,

I'm so saddened by the loss of dear Marvin. I have many fond memories of Marv and of the kind and giving person he was. He and Renee never turned down an opportunity to help others. In my years working at the Howell Senior Center, I can honestly say that Marv's kindness, sense of humor, and huge heart were matched by none. The love and respect he and Renee shared was beautiful and inspiring. His love for his family was first and foremost. His devotion and commitment to veterans was ever present. My heart hurts for all of you and I hope and pray that you will be comforted by wonderful memories of this this fine, fine man. It was an honor to know him.

“I have so many wonderful memories of my dad”Marvin the mouse”. Ever since I was a little girl he has been there guiding me. Always with advice or a kind word.

He taught me so much it’s hard to put into words. He was the role model is his unassuming ways. From being a young child to an adult being there for advice and showing me the importance of standing up for my beliefs and becoming my own person !

I will miss him deeply but never forget him

Life will not be the same without the “Mouse”. Love Debbie

It’s hard to talk about Marvin without Renee… it’s a little like some of our favorite sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly, lox and bagels, they were meant to be together.

What I learned from Marvin and Renee is what a loving partnership looks like. A healthy marriage is nourishing and mutually beneficial not just when we are young newlyweds, but as we age and our bodies decline.

Often parents may think they are teaching their children with their words but we know it is really their actions that are modeled in front of us that leave the biggest imprint.

To me Marvin approached life with curiosity, an open mind and possibilities, a glass half full. When an obstacle would present he would work around it and find an alternative. This might explain his passion for creating with his pop rocks, instant coffee and many more patents. Also, that a little duct tape when all else fails, can go a long way.

He demonstrated service to the community, another lesson.

As a child, I recall him as being a hero with the power of a volunteer ambulance responder’s uniform, as he broke up a fistfight with our neighbors.

Respect for Veterans, was another lesson: When I was young he would hold me on top of his shoulders, as the streets were full of Memorial parade marchers and bystanders.

Later, when Memorial parades in many communities dwindled Marvin and Renee created community where they lived at Monroe Village and The Villages and honored veterans who were with us and soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. Marvin gave the grandchildren jobs to participate, which increased their awareness and sense of community responsibility, even if they may have complained, a little.

Another lesson: Marvin, himself previously a golden gloves boxer, taught me how to fight. That is, he gave me lessons on proper posture, stance and how to throw a punch. This came in handy when as a young girl, instead of feeling like a victim when experiencing anti-Semitic comments I would fight back, despite the comments coming from a boy. I learned to stand up for myself and that the feeling of being wronged was not to be tolerated. This is a powerful tool for a young woman to learn. I have since learned to use my words.

Marvin modeled and encouraged us to practice speaking our mind, respectfully. A lesson that would be helpful for more of us to practice today. Some of you may have shared this challenge, when talking politics to him. As we often disagreed on the merits of some of our political leaders. Marvin knew how to get his point across, listen to others, and when to keep the tension in the air calm, as he valued the relationship and peace even more.

I also learned from Marvin and Renee that many treasures are to be found amongst what others may pass over as trash. Those early birds at garage sales with persistent hunting skills are often rewarded in life with a bounty of gems.

Many thanks dad for the memories.

My Uncle Marvin had an effect on everyone he came in contact with. He exemplified lovingkindness and was a true mensch. He had honesty, decency, ingenuity, a fun and mischievous spirit, and a kind word for everyone. The smartest thing he ever did was to marry his true love, Renee. They treasured each other and created a wonderful life.

I hope Renee and their offspring live many more healthy, loving years. The children, my cousins, all have some of their best qualities. Renee has always been the wind beneath his wings.

Mrs. Schulman and family,

Wishing you sincere condolances. Mr. Shulman was one of the kindest, sincere men I remembered from my childhood. Please accept my sympathy .

Sincerely,

Barbara pagliaro Szela

The first and only man to ever argue with me about my picking up the dinner check.

My respect & admiration grew from that day foward. A man's man. I am proud to have known him. Godbless.

My uncle Marvin was one of the kindest most generous people I have ever known! Great memories coming to see his family growing up! Sorry to hear of his passing
