My condolences for David, Laurie, Matthew and the rest of the Marshall family. Mr. Marshall sounds like an awesome man; one who protected his country by his service, had a large family and a lot of friends who loved and respected him.

My association with Dave at Shell was always good. He always had a smile on his face. After our retirement from Shell on ocassion we would run into each other at the grocery store in Pasadena and catch up. I had not seen him in a lontime, and recently I was thinking about him.
My prayers are with you at this trying time.
