Marshall was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He grew up spending time with his children and enjoying those special moments and bonds they created.

Marshall was a man who always made an impact on anyone he met and was always greeting you with a smile. He was kind, gentle, and smart. He enjoyed gardening and fishing. Most of all, he adored being with his wife and spending time with her.
