Marvin Ross Smith, age 75, of Buchler Road, Lyndon, Vt., passed away at his home, early Friday morning February 7, 2020, following a period of failing health.

Marvin was born on November 3, 1944, in Lyndon, Vt., son to the late Howard Henry and Leah Faith (Cox) Smith.

He graduated from college at Vermont Technical College in 1965 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Marvin was a co-owner of the family business, Vermont Flexible Tubing until the business was sold in 2014. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and playing golf and was a current member of the Crescent Masonic Lodge. He greatly enjoyed trips to the Gaspe Bay Peninsula and Nova Scotia for salmon fishing. To his grand and great-grandchildren he was known as Papa, and as family goes … they were high on his list!
