Marshall, Jr., Mary Ann McPoyle, Shirley Yoder, Thomas Marshall, Robert Marshall and Linda Smailer. His children and their loving spouses all live locally. He is also the proud Pop Pop to his 15 precious grandchildren and his 14 Million Dollar great-grandchildren. He is survived by his 3 sisters, Grace Ross, Betty Burns and Olive Smith.
He honorably served this country in the US Coast Guard during WWII. He was a member of the Master Masons, Collingswood Cloud Lodge #101. He belonged to the Carpenters Union, Local #393, Gloucester City, NJ and was a Honorary Life Member of the L.O.O.M Lodge #3001, Orange Park, FL. He had a passion for fishing and hunting just to name a few of his many memories.
He has painfully missed his wife, Virginia (Nee Phillips) Marshall, who passed in 2003. Please take a moment to share in the joy of their reunion as his family does.
