  Marv Zwick, Combined Locks, age 80, passed on to his eternal life with our Lord peacefully on Monday, August 15, 2016 in the loving arms of his family after battling lung cancer for 2 years. Marv entered his life here on earth July 8, 1936, born to parents George & Harriet (Berkers) Zwick. Marv married the love of his life, Grace Vande Hey on November 4, 1957 at St. Francis Church in Hollandtown. Grace's brother, the Rev. Robert Vande Hey officiated. He graduated from Kaukauna High School with the class of '55. Marv spent two years of active service with the US Army. He served a painting apprenticeship, worked for several contractors before starting his own business Marv Zwick Painting & Decorating. He was known for his expertise in wood graining steel doors. Marv was a past president of Lucky Wheels Motorcycle Club and Calumet Flyers: a remote control airplane flying club. One of his greatest joys was teaching his grandson, Travis, to fly on his own at only 8 years old. He also trained many other fliers. Marv started motorcycling as a teenager - racing, scrambles, flat track and road racing. Competing at Daytona International Speedway was a highlight of his racing days. For a several years, he hit the circuit of snowmobile drag racing. In earlier years, Marv enjoyed spending time at the cabin in Pelican Lake, fishing & snowmobiling with friends and family. Marv & Grace enjoyed touring on their Honda MC; with trips out west. For 17 years, they enjoyed being snowbirds in Florida along with several of their closest friends. His airplanes were the first things to be packed in the van. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family, and grandkids. Marv was known as the fix it guy. His motto was "if it's broke, it can be fixed," whether it was an engine, a motor, or a piece of Grace's jewelry. Marv is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Mary Grace Zwick; daughter, Lois (Ed) Zwick-Perez; grandchildren: Emily (Ben) Hermus and Travis (fiancée Morgan Holz) Tennessen; great grandson, Daniel Marvin Hermus, who lifted up Marv's spirits this past year; and sisters and brothers-in-law: Ruth Zwick, Gladys Tennessen, Earl (Mary Ann), Eugene, Sr. Eugenia and Arthur (Therese) Vande Hey. He is further survived by godchildren, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. In addition to his parents, Marv was preceded in death by his daughter, Sheila; brothers: Robert and George Zwick; father and mother-in-law: Peter and Odelia Vande Hey; and brothers and sister-in-law: Fr. Robert Vande Hey; Leroy Tennessen and Virginia "Skippy" Vande Hey. Visitation will be held Saturday, August 20, 2016 at ST.

It's been a day, my heart is aching but I know the Bridge between heaven and earth called Love will sustain me till we meet again. Love Grace. Dad & Grandpa, you're dearly missed and in our hearts forever. Love Lois and Ed, Emily, Ben and Daniel, Travis and Morgan. Published in Appleton Post-Crescent from Aug. 16 to Aug. 17, 2016
