Marshall was a treasure—-a kind and loving man who lived his life with integrity and humility. He was my father’s closest friend—a true and loyal friend. We were all privileged to have him in our lives. My deepest sympathy to his family.

So sorry for your loss guys. Your Dad was a really great guy. We will all miss his kind heart and dry wit. He certainly loved his entire family so much and showed it in many quiet ways. Although we will all miss him, I am sure he is very happy to be together with Bonnie in Heaven.
Marshal always had stories to tell me of his childhood, and travels with his wife Bonnie over the years. He always had kind words and stayed positive for everyone. He told me how blest he was to have such good and caring children. He loved watching the wildlife in his yard where Mark and Bruce would feed the birds and squirrels for him. Linda and Bev whom he said were good cooks, keep him forever full. He made me smile, I will miss him.
So sorry for your loss, Linda,Bev, and Bruce! I loved your father growing up. He was always so kind and funny to be around. He treated me as though I was important which I’ll ever forget
