I worked closely with Marshall for nearly 20yrs. I grew to value his honor, integrity and his friendship. I had such respect for his work ethic and job knowledge. When Chelsea left Dana and was moving to Olive Branch, I did my best to persuade him to go with us. His answer was, he could never move away from his family.
Rest in Peace ole friend.
