He was the son of James Elmo and Bertha May Macy. An edited extract of his obtituary in The Spokesman-Review (Spokane, WA), dated February 29, 2000, provides the following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Visitation for Marvin E. Macy, 67, will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Hazen and Jaeger Valley Funeral Home. Service is planned for 1 p.m. Thursday at the funeral home. Burial will follow at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery.
Mr. Macy, who was born in Ellington, Mo., died Saturday. He graduated from high school in Ellington. In 1952 he joined the Air Force. He served in France, England and Vietnam.
Mr. Macy moved to Spokane in 1973 and was discharged from the military in 1974. He went to work as a bus driver for the Spokane Transit Authority in 1978. He retired in 1998.
Mr. Macy was a volunteer for the Spokane Food Bank.
Survivors include his wife of 45 years, Therese; three daughters, Barbara Johnson, Karen Schultz, and Alice Wasnidge; a son, Steven Macy of Valley, Wash.; his mother, Bertha Macy; four brothers, James, Earl, Ray and Dennis Macy; two sisters, Nita Peterson and Mae Olsen; and 10 grandchildren.

AN ASIDE: I first met Marv when we were assigned to the same Air Force Security Police unit at Andrews AFB in the early 1960s. We travelled with and secured Special Missions aircraft transporting U.S. Cabinet and Congressional Members; Foreign and Domestic Dignataries, and others to locations in the States and around the world.
I left the unit in 1967 but met Marv again in early 1972 during OZR Training preparatory to Vietnam. We were both assigned to Da Nang AB and became "hoochmates" until his transfer to Tan Son Nhat AB seven months later. Our earlier friendship definitely helped us through the latter times.
NOTE: The Dept of Veterans Affairs listing reflects his burial location as Holy Cross Cemetery. I was informed by the cemetery office that Holy Cross maintains administrative control of both cemeteries.
