I remember being his paperboy and then spending time talking with Mr. Marshall when I worked at Stoney's. He was a good man, that will be missed by many. My sorrows to the family.

My sympathies to the Marshall family. I lived next door to you many years ago and (probably knew Lili better than the rest of you) but glad to read Mr. Marshall had such a long good life. It's funny how our minds play tricks on us, I remembered his name as Vernon and that he had a brother who lived across the street named James.
