I Glenn L. Pleasant was Marell and Rodney's next door neighbor and childhood friend. Our parents go way back even further. Marell and I played hard and fought each other hard. But we loved each other very hard. Life for us was nice our parents made sure of that. I really miss Miss. Mosby and you Rodney. You and I share a very special bond that I will always cherish. I am so very proud of you Rodney that my heart has burst form the rush of emotion. We all go way back and I will never forget...

I have been very fortunate as a young man to be around wonderful, positive people. Although I was young, Marell was a BIG influence on me and my tennis. He pushed me and encouraged me to work hard, and I enjoyed every second being around him. He was my coach, mentor, and friend. He will truly be missed. Rest in peace.

To The Harmon Family,
We met Marell when our son, Rahman, was a member of the ABC Tennis Program in Newark, New Jersey. Marell was one of his coaches, and we all grew to love him for the wonderful person and coach he was.
We deeply regretted hearing of Marell's passing, and we extend our prayers and love to the entire family during this most difficult time. May God bless you all with peace and comfort.
Rest In Peace, Marell.

To The Harmon Family,
I was so saddened to hear of Marell's passing. He was one of those people that made you smile just knowing he was out there doing his thing somewhere making someone smile. He and I shared many a good time on and off the courts and he was just special. In Jersey, Stamford, New Haven, Richmond, Texas, whereever the ATA (American Tennis Association) played, we played doubles while Marell played life. He was my doubles partner, my friend, my mentor, and it didn't...
