My brother Marshall was the best brother anyone could ask for. I have so many memories of things we did together, boating in The Thousand Islands, traveling with him to Myrtle Beach in the winter, going to car shows, lots of sightseeing and visiting NASCAR tracks. He was the best tour guide and his zest for life was so special. He will definitely be missed by his family and friends. Our memories will stay in my heart forever.
Love you Marsh ❤️❤️ from your sister Pam.
My condolences to Marshall’s family. He and I worked together in the mid-90s for Xerox in Woodcliff. He was a thinking man’s man – always trying to challenge you to look at problems from multiple angles. Marshall also had a very dry sense of humor.
My heart goes out to his wife (and my former barber) Sandy. I know she has great memories of the adventures she and Marshall has exploring the world. May God comfort her as she mourn’s his death.
My husband Rich and I both have the best memories of working with Marshall at Xerox. Rich worked with him in the 60’s and I in the 80’s. Dedicated, smart and a gentleman. Sending our sympathy.
