John’s Hospital in Springfield, IL surrounded by his
loving family.
Marvin was born on February 8, 1931 in Lincoln, son
of Herbert and Blanche (Miller) Board. He married
Joyce Joann Anderson on July 4, 1958 in Lincoln. She
survives him.
Also surviving are his children: Vicki (Keith)
Hasprey of Lincoln, Victor Board, Scott Board, and
Doug (Regina) Board all of Lincoln, Jeff Board of
Encino, CA; three sisters: Carol Meents, Marcie
Brooks, and Alice Tuma; two brothers-in-law: Speed

six grandchildren: Nathan, Nick, Katlyn, Aurora,
Maya May, and Maverick. He was preceded in death by
his parents, one brother: Gene Board, one sister:
Louise Coombs, and four brothers-in-law: Robert,

Marvin was a member of Jefferson Street Christian
Church. He was an ironworker out of Local 46
Springfield, for twenty-five years, and local 433 of
Los Angeles, CA for ten years. He has been
owner-operator of Family Custom Cleaners since 2000.
He was a member of the APA Nine Ball Wednesday
Night, and Eight Ball Thursday Night Pool League.
Marvin was also a member of the Eagles Lodge, Ford
Antique Club, and Golden Glove Boxer in his youth. |
He loved all sports and games and
traveling the world with his family. His favorite
pass time was building bird houses and taking care
of his birds, Big R has his special mixture of bird
seed “Marv’s Mix”.
Always fun loving, happy go lucky, Marvin never met
a person he did not like, friend to all with a big
smile on his face and a heart he didn’t touch. Those
who knew him would say he was one of a kind. Loving
husband, father, grandfather and friend, he was
doing what he loved; building a home with his wife,
daughter, son, sons-in-law, and best friend Vic when
he went to be with his Lord and Savior.
Cremation rites for Marvin have been accorded. A
celebration of Marvin’s life will be from 1:00-4:00
