Peggy and I were saddened to hear of Marlow's passing. He had been a groomsman when we were married in 1971. I'm thankful that I was able to visit him in Oct. of 2018 in Des Moines. We had a great day together and his spirits seemed high.
Marlow was one of the best friends you could have. I never knew him to have an enemy. Likeable and always ready to help. We will miss Marlow but always remember him. We've lost a great friend but God has gained a true follower.
