George was an extra special gentleman. He welcomed my dad into the JWV post and we were delighted to work together to bring the film "Above and Beyond" to a successful post event - not once but twice! We will truly miss this great guy. Lisa and Gerry Zarrow

I was a childhood friend of the Marshall boys when I was growing up in Mattapan back in the 50's & 60's. So sorry to hear about your father's passing. My sympathy and condolences go out to your entire family.

Billy, Larry, and David, please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your father. My cousin George was a wonderful man who was totally devoted to his family as you all know. He and his brother Ronnie grew up surrounded with love from their mother Rose, who my daughter is named after, and their father Joe. Obviously that upbringing had a tremendous effect upon him as he showed the same love to the three of you. He will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing him.
