Marvin J. Trinkes, 79, of La Crosse, WI., passed away at home on Monday, December 6, 2021. Marvin was born In La Crosse, on May 8, 1942 to Hilary “Larry” and Irene (Marx) Trinkes.

Marvin enjoyed fishing, riding his snowmobile, a good game of Euchre, shelling nuts and working in his garden. He was proud of his homemade V8 and giving softball size onions to his friends. A good day included breakfast and sharing stories with his friends at the counter of the Barre Diner.
