Ord, also known as “Hutch”, “Marvin”, or “Grumpy” later in life, was born in Denver to Margaret Roe Sands Hutcheson and LeRoy Arthur Hutcheson. He grew up in south Denver, attending South High School until he entered Wentworth Military Academy, an elite military junior college in in Lexington, Missouri, graduating high school in 1945. Marvin entered the Navy shortly after graduating and was honorably discharged from his position as a Fireman, Second Class, in December 1946. Because he was on the shakedown crew of the USS Philippine Sea, he became a plank owner when it was decommissioned. Following the Navy he worked for his father’s company, The Hutcheson Construction Company, a highway and heavy construction firm. Working there for about 10 years, he drove heavy construction equipment and later became the office manager. In May 1950 he met Bonita Lee Jones on a blind date set up by a co-worker of Bonita’s.
