    My condolences to Marley's family. The first time I ever listened to Hart to Hart was at his house. Never since have I listen to music so loud. Thank you Marley for the memories.

    Heartfelt sympathy to all of you in the passing of Marley. Worked with him at Maytag, what a good time. He kept everyone laughing and was just plain fun to be around. One of his best stories was when he bought groceries at Hy-Vee one morning and put them in the wrong car. Didn't realize it until the key wouldn't fit, so he just got out and went home without his stuff. That was one of many stories. He will be greatly missed and remembered. Prayers for all of you.

    I was lucky enough to work with Marley at Emco Industries and Maytag. He was a good natured prankster and always willing to lend a hand.
