Marshall died on March 1, after six months fighting liver cancer. He had retired with his wife Sue after working as a hospital pharmacist to Ocean Park, Oregon, to a cottage with a pond, on a peninsula. He had a garden, and a small greenhouse, and an ocean kayak. He told us that a bear would wander through his yard occasionally. He knew everyone in the villages on the peninsula. He spend part of the winter in summer working on his Spanish, went birding around the world, and he was in very regular contact by email with some of us in the January, 1965 class. The emails had bad jokes and links to one or another thing he found serious or amusing. He was a source of help in times of trouble, and of cheer at all times. Hedy was able to post something when he died, but for others he was such a presence that it has taken six months to post anything at all.
I still sometimes want to call Marshall to talk about childhood memories, or when one of us had a problem or whatever. He was so much there for me when my husband died. And I still say several Marshall-isms.
Hedy Mosbach (Nuriel) (1965)
Marshall was very special to many people. He was warm, friendly, great sence of humor. He stayed in touch with so many of us. He will truly be missed,
