☆～ VETERAN, WORLD WAR II (1939-1945) ～☆
Henry Howard Marvin, Jr., of Lincoln, Nebraska, died on Jun 26, 2009, at the age of 85.
He is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, June D. Marvin of Cleveland; sons, Dean C. Marvin of Torrance, CA and Kent H. Marvin of Cleveland, OH; sister Ruth Owens of Morton Grove, IL; brother David Marvin of San Francisco, CA; grandchildren Kristin M. Marvin, Kent Tyler Marvin, Kaitlin E. Marvin and Collin H. Marvin, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Dr. Marvin received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin (Madison) after serving in the 65th Infantry division, which marched from France to Berlin during World War II.
Dr. Marvin began his career in 1950 at General Electric's research lab in Schenectady, NY. He was promoted to Engineering Manager at GE's capacitor plant in Glens Falls, NY and after several years transferred to GE's Nela Park facility in Cleveland.
At the 25-year mark in his career with GE, he was General Manager of High Intensity Discharge Lamp department and was instrumental in the development of the "Lucalox" line of High Pressure Sodium Lamps that are used worldwide to light municipal properties and roadways. Dr. Marvin was also heavily involved in making the decision to build new GE facilities in Twinsburg.
In 1975, Dr. Marvin joined the Energy, Research and Development Department (ERDA, now the Department of Energy) of the U.S. government and was in charge of wind, solar and geothermal energy development. Dr. Marvin qualified and directed government funding to numerous projects throughout the United States intended to demonstrate and develop alternative energy sources.
In 1980, Dr. Marvin joined Brunswick Corporation in Skokie, IL as Vice President of Technologies where he drove the identification and implementation of new technologies at Brunswick's 13 divisions, which included Mercury Marine Engines, Brunswick Bowling Machines, an Aerospace division and several Boat manufacturers.
Dr. Marvin retired in 1988 and enjoyed spending time at residences in both Glencoe, IL and Tucson, AZ.
No services are scheduled as Dr. Marvin will be interred in his home state of Nebraska. The family suggests that any donations be directed to the Alzheimer's Assn. National Office.
