Two reader comments about Marvin Laguan
I met Marvin when he was in probation camp in malibu. I used to help serve the Mass there and I would stick around to chat with the kids and Marvin was one who always wanted to talk. I worked at Homeboy Industries at the time and told him that there is a place for him whenever he gets out. Sure enough, he came in through those front doors and brought his own warmth and light with him. Marvin was a good man and a good father. He will be seriously missed. RIP, Marvin.
