Marv was born November 6, 1929, in Chicago, the son of Carl and Julianna (Thierling) Anderson. During high school, he began working in the mailroom of an insurance company and continued there after his graduation.
Marv loved this country and served in the Army for six years. He married Barbara Beale on September 11, 1954, in Chicago.
The couple settled in Chicago until moving to Stevens Point in 1974, when Marv accepted a position at Sentry Insurance. In 1976, they moved to San Diego, where Marv served as president of an insurance company. Upon retirement in 1987, the couple returned to this area, and have resided in various locations in Portage and Wood Counties.
During their time in Chicago, the family enjoyed spending time in the Crivitz and Lac du Flambeau area, and in retirement, Barb and Marv enjoyed being snowbirds. They spent time in Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, and Florida during the winters. Marv also enjoyed golfing, fishing, and travel to various states and worldwide. Together they traveled to many places including New York, Hawaii, London, Paris, Bermuda, and others.
Barb and Marv were blessed with 62 years of marriage. Marv took up running at the age of 49 and competed in 35 marathons including the Boston and Chicago runs. He was a proud Chicago White Sox, Blackhawks, and da Bears fan, and in his teenage years working for George Halas at his jewelry store in Chicago.
