Not sure what to say?

Oh Uncle Jim, Too soon you have been joined by another angel, your Biz, thank you both for all the positive teachings....always remembered, always missed.

Oh Uncle Jimmy, What an inspiration you were. Funny, smart, honorable and humble. We miss you.

I never think or smell a sweet pea without thinking so fondly of Uncle Jimmy. Missing his moral compass.

Brit & Wendy,

We are so sorry for you loss of your father. We remember Jim, Pete, & your grandfather that started Marshall Mortgage & Trust on Central Ave. then 7th St. and back to Central Ave. Our father, Clarence Hienton had fond memories of Jim, Pete and have told us kids some of the stories. And we loved the stories. We still own a grapefruit & orange tree that dad bought from them in our back yard!!! They sure DO produce the fruit to this day, 65 years with irrigation every 2...

I remember going down to the office on Saturdays with dad & while dad was working I was doing homework at another desk. When he needed a copy to work off of he...

A fine service well attended by family, and life long friends. Jim truly had a life well lived. He will be fondly remembered and sorely missed.

I am sorry as I just learned of this at another memorial service yesterday and would have liked to attend the service. On my visits to Iron Springs, I always enjoyed Jim and Jan so much. More recently, as I live across the street from the Terraces, seeing Jim and Jan individually out walking their dog always brought a smile to my face and I had hoped I could assist them with that if need be. My love to Wendy and the rest of the family.

Loss of one so dear makes you take stock of your own life and wonder if you are doing all you can to really live. How grateful I am to have grown up with Jim Marshall in my life. I loved his sense of humor and his laugh. Growing up with the Marshalls meant being part of a very large, extended family. How Lucky! I loved spending time at his cabin in Iron Springs, at his campsites in Mexico, and his home and lovely garden in Phoenix. Jim Marshall will be dearly missed, but what a legacy he...

Wendy thanks for sharing this. My dad died last year and it is always a blow even though we know they are in a better place. I didn't realize our dads both went to Kenilworth, Phoenix Union and did ROTC. My dad was one year younger but I guess they would have known of each other. Thoughts and prayers for your family. Hope you are well.
