Marv and Lorraine were married in the Presbyterian Church in her hometown of Wahoo, Nebraska on March 7, 1959, and lived in Omaha, joined by sons, Steve and Scott, until 1964 when the railroad transferred Marv to Scottsbluff, Nebraska. The family also lived in Arvada, Colorado and Spokane, Washington before moving to Sioux City in 1974, where Marv was the Illinois Central's sales manager.
