Not sure what to say?

In 2010 my wife and I bought a rambling fixer of a house in Woods Hole as a summer home. Among other things in making the house better, we installed a new lawn, which unfortunately began sprouting a forest of crab grass weeds. I spent a whole lot of time bent over that new lawn destroying (as best I could) one crab grass weed after another. My weapon of choice in this endeavor? An old screwdriver.

Worked at Edison Ford Estates for many years with David,great guy.

Mr Marshall was a wonderful teacher. Always wanting you to do better. Be the best we could be. I always remember his challenges and his encouragement. My condolences to his family.

Dave was a very dear friend to me. I will miss seeing his smiling face and terrific sense of humor. I hope you were able to follow my Facebook posting of his passing. So many colleagues and former students remembered him as their favorite teacher and mentor. That is indeed a tribute to an educator who touched so many!

There can only be a few teachers that you never forget as a result of their talent and gift to teach well. Add to that true wit and humor and you get David Marshall. He always made me feel like he cared personally for each one of us. Thank you sir!

Dave led a loving, purposeful life, one worth emulating. There was something very noble about him, yet he was always humble and gracious. My condolences to his family. I´m so glad I had the opportunity to learn from him at SCSU, teach with him at East Haven HS and get to know him.

To a dear teacher of mine and later a colleague. We shared laughter and serious moments you were a treasure to many. Deepest sympathy to all. Pattie Bello

I loved Mr. Marshall! He was my homeroom and journalism teacher, I remember his great smile so well. Such a cool guy and a great teacher, one you'd never forget. God bless his soul and comfort his loved ones. Linda Best Coviello, EHHS class of '68

My condolences to the Marshall family. Mr. Marshall was my high school English teacher( class of 1973) and a tremendous influence in my life then and often in many aspects of my life. He was definitely , by me, the most memorable and inspiring teacher with a kind of wit that still makes me smile. Rest in peace, Mr. Marshall.
