Marvin Arnold Niese, 82, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, died peacefully on July 11, 2023, of com-plications from cancer, while under the care of hospice. Marvin was born October 6, 1940, in North Tonawanda, New York, to William and Leona Niese. Marvin graduated from North To-nawanda High School and then attended Cornell University and University at Buffalo School of Law.
