Marshall Edward Morrow Marshall Edward Morrow, avid golfer, retired math and physics teacher, amateur astronomer, camping fanatic, and dedicated father surrendered to cancer on July 29, 2012, at the age of 76 in Austin, Texas, surrounded by loved ones. He was born on July 27, 1936, to United States Army Colonel and Mrs. George Luther Morrow, while Colonel Morrow was stationed with the 15th Infantry Regiment in Tientsin, China. Marshall grew up in Kerrville, Texas and graduated from Tivy High School in 1954. After graduation, he attended the US Naval Academy and served his country during the Korean War. After being honorably discharged from the Navy in 1958, he got married and returned to Texas to attend and graduate from the University of Texas at Austin. He continued his education at Texas A&I University (now Texas A&M University-Kingsville), earning a Master's degree. Marshall was an enthusiastic, if uncompromising, math and physics teacher in several Texas school systems, most notably, the Weimar Independent School District. He loved coaching the boys' high school golf teams. He exhibited great creativity during Halloween and PTA carnival time, dressing up as a zombie, ghoul, Frankenstein, or even Big Bird. Later, he spent much of his retirement on the greens and fairways of Weimar Golf Course, in Weimar, Texas, wagering in scrambles and other skins games. He found additional joy riding his Triumph motorcycle along the country lanes surrounding Weimar. He loved reading and learning about the universe and was a devoted follower of Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking. His favorite vacations were spent camping and exploring in the deserts of the American southwest. Marshall was preceded in death by his parents, George and Mildred Morrow, and two brothers, George F. and Robert. Marshall is survived by dear friend and long-time companion, Gloria Hull, as well as four sweet daughters and their beautiful families: Laura and Henry Stone with son Angus; Ruth Anne and Charles Collins with daughters Anne, Elizabeth, and Eileen; Alice and Mark Harris; and Charlotte and Dallan Reese with children Logan, Shane, and Audrey. Marshall also has two handsome great-grandsons, Tristan and Jax, children of Anne and Greg O'Brien. Marshall's loved ones are grateful to the care and kindness demonstrated by the staffs at Seton Northwest Hospital, the Summit at Westlake Hills, and Hospice Austin. A memorial service to celebrate Marshall's life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 4, 2012, at the First United Methodist Church, 301 W Saint Charles St, Weimar, Texas. Contributions can be made to the Melanoma Research Foundation, the
