I was fortunate enough to have Rea as a roommate for our first year at UVa. in Dunglison 305. He filled the year with the memories of a lifetime. When my housing arrangements fell through before my 4th year, Rea literally put a roof over my head in sharing a house with his friends, who became my friends for the past 44 years. Thank you, Rea, and may your parents accept my sincere condolences.

I was a student of Sr. Marshall at Mendon High School. I recently thought of him, googled his name, and was saddened to learn of his passing. He was a bright light at Mendon and one of my all time favorite teachers. He took several classmates and I on a class trip to Spain over spring break which was highly enriching for all of us. I have many great memories of that trip as well as time spent in his classroom. I know his legacy will live on in the many students he positively influenced. ...

I am so very sorry for your loss. Rae had a profound impact on my life. My name is Sylvia Alexander, Rochester, NY. I was a student at Mendon high from `93-`97.

miss you my brother,

Rea's love touched so many...the power, the amazingness that was and remains in our memories stands forever! I love you Rea! Carrie

Mr. Marshall was a beloved Spanish teacher at Pittsford Mendon High School. He shared of himself and made personal connections with his students on the regular. His class was one that I remember well all these years later. I hope he knows how much of an impact he made on so many of his students. May he rest in peace and be surrounded by lots of love.

So sorry to hear of Rae´s passing. His family and mine have been good friends for a long time. I rode the bus to school with Cindy and Rae and we participated in a few activities together. Rae has always been such a fun and nice guy. Thinking of the Marshalls at this time. Kim Cosner Lilley, AHS class of 1978.

I have fond memories of Rea from Albemarle High School and remember well his passion and enthusiasm for foreign languages. So delighted that he successfully pursued those passions on a professional level after high school. Prayers for peace, comfort and strength for his family and friends that are grieving as a result of his loss. Dawn VanDerveer Argenbright AHS Class of 1977
