Marvin (and Eve) were the best art instructors and friends we had at OSHER. We both learned so much in class and travels to the Barnes and the Portrait Gallery in DC with them. Marvin’s sense of perspective and travel sketches were amazing. May he rest in peace.

I send all my love to you Marvin and your lovely EVE. May your whole family be comforted to know how much love and respect he garnered at OLLI. Marvin is my biggest influence in my watercolor art. He is also dear to my heart. On Friday I will honor him in my watercolor workshop. I hope to show the PBS tape he and Eve made. I will also distribute a generous gift of watercolor paper he gave to me a few years ago when Patti Morse and I visited Marvin and Eve at their home. I would be honored if you allow me to purchase a painting of Marvin’s. Thank you all for being in his life, JudyWinters

My condolences to you,Eve and your family on the death of your dear husband ,Marvin. It was such a pleasure to be a student in his watercolor classes at Osher Lifelong Learning at the University of Delaware.

Eve, I am so sorry to hear of Marvin's passing. I was fortunate to have been a student in his watercolor classes as well as in several of your oil painting classes. I learned so much from each of you, and I thank you both for sharing your talents and expertise with so many. The classes taught by both of you have been among my favorite experiences in the 11 years I have attended Osher. Sending heartfelt condolences to you and your family. ♥️

Dear Eve and Family, You have my deepest condolences on the loss of your precious Marvin. He was such a wonderful, skilled, and patient teacher of watercolor. Many of us at Osher were privileged to know you both as stellar teachers and masters of your respective media. We learned so much about design, use of color, perspective, and brush techniques. The bonus was seeing Marvin’s beautiful watercolor renditions of your travels around the globe. You were both so generous with your time and talents. Marvin’s gentle and wise soul was a treasure that none of us will forget. In deepest sympathy, Sue Welles

Dearest Eve, my deepest sympathy to your loss. Every Wednesday at Osher, I had the privilege to witness the master at work. With his favorite gadgets projecting his painting in progress on the big screen, I would watch his every stroke and took in his compositions. I was forever looking into his palette to learn his mixing. His big palette was a beautiful painting itself. I was memorized with his exhibitions at JCC and Delaware Art Museum. Finally, I was amazed with and appreciated to Marvin’s beautiful calligraphy for writing every titles of our paintings in our class exhibits every semester. His penmanship was incomparable. I will miss his gentleness and lively conversations forever. Love and hugs, Merle Shao

My heart is broken to learn that we have lost such a very talented, gentle and wonderful man. Marvin and Eve were both the highlight of my time at Osher. They were amazingly talented and complimented each other and enriched Osher with their presence. We learned so much from Marvin. He became a good friend to all. My condolences and love to Eve and families.
