Marvin Orenstein
Marvin Orenstein, longtime owner of Gem’s Jewelry in downtown Gainesville, died Friday morning. He was 91. Orenstein is perhaps best known for donating watches to star high school football players, a tradition he carried on for more than 65 years and eventually included players from each public school in Hall County.
