Very well said Mike
I was fortunate to have known Marlin and his family for over 20 years.
I have not reached out to the family as of yet as I can only imagine the shock, grief and over whelming affect and everyone wanting to reach out to you.
Your family have been in our families thoughts and prayers daily.
Marlin was truly one of a kind
Marlin is a legend!
His legend will go on forever
We will truly miss him
Mike
I remember buying your spare stock front axles one time I was in Fresno, and we met at the shop after hours. And Marlin showed us how to check for cracks in the bells. And even tho I agreed to the $100 price, I remember he talked you down to $90 to me. But I only had a $100 bill, so you gave me what you had was $9. And Marlin gave me a single $1 bill. I wish I had him sign it, because I still have that $1 hidden in my wallet to this day. Boy, we chatted for like an hour, and the stories you and him were telling about each other, made me feel like I knew both of you for a long time. Marlin had that ability to make you feel like family.
