Marr had a creative, engineering mind and enjoyed building structures, guns, motorcycles, and computers. During the early 1980’s, he worked for years to construct his family home. He looked forward to motorcycle riding trips to Daytona during Bike Week. Marr was a true lover of animals & thoroughly relished taking his dogs for their daily ride through Shorterville.
