Editing Marvin Marsh (section)

==About==
Marvin Marsh, often just known as "Grampa" is one of South Park's oldest citizens and residents, playing an active role in the local community as a tireless advocate for seniors' rights, serving as an elite member of the [[Hare Club for Men]], and of course, as the proud grandfather of [[Stan Marsh|"Billy"]] and [[Shelly Marsh]]. He also serves as the Town Historian, presiding over South Park's official Civil War re-enactment annually.

Marvin's advanced age has caused a number of health problems over the years that drove him often to suicide. His age has severely limited his mobility; he almost always uses a motorized wheelchair for movement, and occasionally a cane. He has been afflicted with Alzheimer's disease, most notably often referring to his grandson as 'Billy'. Though once driven to suicide by misery over his ailments, feeling he'd been alive "for too long" and often seeking his grandson's help to end his life prematurely, such as asking him to hold on to a rope while he tries to hang himself. These efforts have largely ceased, however.

Marvin's hobbies include drinking, gambling, driving dangerously, board games, and gross old people sex. He has addiction tendencies, particularly towards drinking and gambling, which have been passed on to his descendants, but he plays board games with [[Stan Marsh|his grandson]] to overcome them. Like many old people, he also collects vintage figurines, particularly Hummels. He also appeared on America's Stupidest Home Videos with [[Bob Saget]] when his video of a [[Kenny McCormick|little boy]] being run over by a train won him a ten-thousand dollar cash prize.

Little is known about his early life, but at the age of eight, Marvin helped his own grandfather commit suicide. He later worked for fifty-five years in a steel mill, and flew in the United States Army Air Force in a Super marine Spitfire over Nazi Germany during World War II. He eventually retired to the town of South Park at the [[Marsh Residence]], was married for some time, and had one child [[Randy Marsh]], conceived accidentally. He once had a pet Border Collie named Patches whom he was also very fond of.

He lived with his son's family until sometime while his grandson was in the fourth grade, and was moved to [[Looming Sunset Assisted Living]], where his family visited him occasionally, and he often bought over-priced jewelry and other gifts for his unsuspecting grandchildren. He has since been moved to [[Shady Acres Retirement Community]] where he appears to be happier, and currently has the best Hummel collection there.
