Many of you know Marvin Lau. aka Shicken, who has been dealing with cancer for several years. Unfortunately, no treatments were successful beating back the cursed disease.

Marvin has always produced the most delicious BBQ and homemade pizass.

Marvin would hope that his friends could kindly send him cards. It is very difficult for him to reply via text or Facebook or answer the phone. His address is:

Marvin Lau 1870 11th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122.

Very sad. Marvin is a kind and generous man. He will always be a cherished friend that helped make this community what it is today.

Fucking heartbreaking....

Really glad I got to spend time with Marv recently on BMB's yacht crabbing...I could tell he was hurting but he never once complained...

Love you Marv.

I'm so sorry to hear this.

from the early days of fishing Bean, to one of my open studio shows a few years ago, Marv has always been a great guy.

Heartbreaking!!!!!

Marvin has always put aside his own well being for others.  I know he was exhausted and not feeling well when he stayed up all night cooking at Ariel and Shifra's wedding, but would he let any of us give a hand?  HELL NO!!!!

Still keeping him in my prayers!!!!
