He was born April 15, 1942, in Pittsfield, Mass. to Joseph and Anna Cole Marby. He graduated from Williams High School in Stockbridge, Mass., and attended UMass Amherst for one year before moving to Boston, Mass. He worked briefly as an insurance agent before embarking on his lifelong career in the printing business. He worked for several printing companies in Massachusetts and Maine until 1983, when he, along with his business partner, John Poor, bought Lincoln Press in Sanford, which he co-owned and operated until his retirement in 2008.

A passionate NFL fan, he enjoyed attending and watching games, playing poker with close friends, and loved music, live concerts, traveling around the country, family games and events, reading American history, and solving puzzles.
