When I think of Richard "Dick" Marshall, I think of someone who was always larger than life. I had the pleasure of working with Dick for almost 25 years while he was a member of the Hooksett planning board and I was a staff member to the board. I learned so much during that time. I also learned never to challenge him, unless you knew your "stuff". He was a Force to be reckoned with in his younger years as planning board Chair. Dick was an extremely knowledgeable individual. Always recognizable by his strong, deep Santa laugh! He gave his time so generously to the children of Hooksett. I considered Dick a good friend, and was shocked to hear of his passing. I will never forget you, Dick. Sincere condolences to Donna and the Marshall family on your loss.

Our deepest sympathies are with the Marshall / Tilton families. We will miss Dick very much. He was a beloved friend, choir member, church leader, "Bumpa", Santa Claus, and so much more. We loved him and we love you all and we are so sorry for the loss of this great man. - The Bridges Family

My wife Donna and I are so saddened by your loss. Dick was there when I first chose to portray Santa and his friendship and guidance will not be forgotten. May he rest in peace and you find warmth and comfort knowing of all the lives that he touched.

Donna,
To you and your family, condolences from me and Stephanie. While I knew Dick during our Central years, I really got to know him as we worked on maintaining the Central Class of '57 Alumni Network. His Santa efforts and community participation were legendary. So many times I got the chance to watch his interaction and joy throughout the year with children when we were at the Backroom. Masterful.
I consider myself enriched to have not missed this late in life time experience with him and you.

I worked with Dick starting in 1978 as a planner in the North Country Council and later as its Executive Director until he retired. He was a friend of those of us who stood for doing the right thing and he always had our backs in difficult times. I was sorry to see him leave DOT and even sorrier to see his passing. He was a quality man. My sincerest condolences to his family. NH lost a gentleman and a good planner.
