I am deeply saddened by the loss of John Marquis. He was a wonderful neighbor, very kind and caring. My little boy will always remember the treats that Mr. Marquis would bring him and I will miss our many conversations over tea.
My condolences to the Marquis Family and Friends

I was not able to see my Great-Uncle Romeo but a few short times on my visits to Connecticut. I will however greatly remember my trip to McDonald's with him and my dad (John Churchill) where he attempt to continuely put a $20 bill in my pocket. I will greatly miss him and his wonderful sense of humor! He was a great man with many great ideas!

Thanks for everything Uncle Romeo! I'm glad to have been able to chat with him on the phone one more time before his trip to Heaven.
I remember the words that Uncle Romeo had printed on blue T-Shirts about 20+ years ago:
We fought for America
We suffered for America
We died for America
We are Americans and
we are patriots
Vietnam Veterans

Our loss here on Earth is Heaven's gain. God...

We will miss our Uncle Romeo. In the final days, as through the years, he brought us close to our "Marquis" family.
