Henry Marsh leaves a legacy of commitment and respect for all humans. Our fathers were devoted friends and Henry III became a wonderful friend to my family. His commitment to improving Richmond and Virginia was evident, and will be long remembered. We were all blessed to know him.

Dear Family of the Late Henry Marsh III, I can remember waiting on your daddy while he did his banking downtown, he was an amazing man. He was always smiling, and I never saw him become angry even if the bank lines were a lengthy on payday. I would always joke with him telling him to become a bank spokesperson. He had the patience like JOB. I would share with him you know that you can always skip the line whenever you wanted to even on payday. He would always smile and say I am good....

Condolences from the Salter Family RVA.

Rest in peace Mr. Marsh
