Tho’ he’s passed on to wherever we will all one day go, I will never miss Marshall. He is and always will be at his piano, playing by ear the melodies I grew up with.
No, I cannot miss him because in my heart he will eternally be one of the finest gentlemen it has been my pleasure and my privelage to know, and know him I always will.
Another Marshall Terry (a 2nd or 3rd cousin, few times removed)

Esther,
We were all saddened about Marshall. I retired from Elcor on July 7 as Assistant Activity Director. However, I just want to let you know how much we all enjoyed the many wonderful times we had with him. Our residents sure enjoyed his musical talents many times. He will be missed by all of us. We will miss hearing your pleasant voice on the phone confirming the dates he was to play also. Take care and God Bless.
Love and prayers,
Nancy

On behalf of the Cummings family, I would like to express our sympathy to Esther and family on the loss of Marshall. We have many fond memories of times spent with them in Pine City enjoying picnics and horseback riding on "Jim." We also remember all the years that our dad and Marshall played together in their band. He was a wonderful man and will surely be missed by his family and all those who knew him.

Am doing this on behalf of my Mom, Ruth Weeks, Pine City. My Dad, Francis, who died in Sept. used to pick up Marshall for Kiwanis. I met him when Dad was in Bethany for rehab and Marshall came to visit and his wife stopped in. Mom raves about how he played the piano for his wife. She feels bad that another friend is gone!!

I loved singing with Marshall, no singer could have asked for a better accompanist. He was a gentle, caring, talented man and will be missed. My prayers go out to Esther and his family.

I knew Marshall (my mother called him Mart) all my life. After I moved away from the Elmira area, whenever I got back to church a highlight was greeting and being greeted by Marshall.
John and I send our sympathy to his family and to his many friends who will miss him.
