Thanks for all the work for the poor and oppressed
Though a very colorful figure, Marvin did so much good for people. When a person hit a brick wall, they mailed a letter to Marvin and he somehow got things fixed. All the kids with disfigurements, the elderly and the dance he put on every year, were his trademarks. I will miss him.
Time stops for no one.
R.I.P
Quite a character!
One of a kind. RIP Mr. Zindler. Play some golf, tennis, or whatever makes you happy up there.
trouper to the end.
As heard on 11 news this morning, “I hope God has a clean kitchen.”
Marvins time here made the world a better place for oh so many people.
Shalom Marvin
Marvin did a lot of good for a lot of folks who couldn’t get resolution of their problem and/or fair treatment otherwise.
I had the distict pleasure(?) of being a guest on two of Marvin’s reports(s) many years ago. Even though, both consumer issues could have been solved with a phone call, Marvin elected to show up at our division office with his camera crew and do his thing. He was respectful and professional and as usual, full of “himself”.

Heaven doesn’t have “Slime In The Ice Machine!”
He will be truly missed, not for being such a character, but he did a ton of work with kids through the Shriner’s Hospital.
Here’s something he did I’ll never forget, the Merchants of Baghdad:

Zindler was a Texas original and God broke the mold when he made Marvin. He was also the first Jewish Deputy Sheriff in Harris County. I met Zindler and participated with him in several charity fundraisers over the years. A very nice gentleman. Shalom, Marvin.

He was sincere about all the assistance he provided and truly did a tremendous job of being of service to his fellow human beings.
I was shocked one time a couple of years ago when marvin walked into the restaurant where I was dining. My first though was ” Oh No, whats wrong with the kitchen?”. Thank God he was there to dine himself.
#13 vlou: I agree with you that he was a good man and did good things for a lot of people. REDACTED; PLEASE SEE COMMENT #16
I promise to post something in the near future that allows readers to debate and explore the issue of heavenly reward through works vs. faith alone.
For now, I think it is more appropriate that we focus on Mr. Zindler’s life on Earth, rather than offer unavoidably personal and speculative opinions regarding his life in the hereafter.
Thank you all for your understanding.
Marvin helped so many children that were disfigured by birth defects and horrible accidents. That alone makes him a hero in my book.
No WAY to categorize ole Marvin - but we’ve definitely lost a Houston Texas ICON.
Marv you keep those heavenly ice machines clean bubba - we aint that far behind ya!
But we all know it was his expose of the Chicken Ranch that gave him his rocket ship to celebrity.. He was a good man who had no problem looking out for those that could not always fight the system.
Now I might be able to watch channel 13 news again.
May he run around naked in heaven as he meets the Lord!

Deal. I won’t speculate.

Re your redacted: It’s your perogative as the “keeper of the keys” to make that decision.
I’ll be looking forward to your post in a few days/weeks(?). That should envoke an interesting couple of dozen/hundred comments from the LST readers.
I appreciate your graceful understanding.
Graceful? Not hardly. I majored in klutz and passed with flying colors! My Pop once said that if there was one cow pile in a 20 acre field and I walked across the field that I would step in it!
Not fair Benzion. The people who allude to something outside of our existance are doing so as a tribute to a good man by means of a ‘Pauline’ capacity for real HOPE. We can debate faith vs.works anytime, but our ‘gut’tells us that works are, in fact, a form of Faith.
OOOpPPs!! I may have misunderstood the point BZ. If anyone is projecting a destination (Especially of negative connotation ) for Marvin, then I can see why you intervened. Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.
Marvin Zindler was a good and decent man. I am proud to have made his aquaintence. Both times I met his he impressed me as an honorable man trying to do the right thing.
Fair winds and following seas Mr. Zindler.
David Benzion…
Thank you for your monitoring the posts on this blog and doing what you do best in a fair and just manner. It was not intended to be insensitive, but you are still respected for your editing.
Well done my good and faithful servant
God
