My name is David Hoffman. I am nearly 80 years old. My mother was Eve Lightman Hoffman. I remember Marshall when I was a kid and we played together at Narragansett Rhode Island each summer. Fortunately, I contacted him about four years ago via email and we spoke on the phone. It was so good to make contact with him again. He was a very decent man and, one of the best looking men I ever saw in my life.

I send my heartfelt sympathy to you and all of Marshal's family.

Marshall Full of life and stories. He definitely made footprints in the Houston Art community. His dedication to his profession and the Arts is commendable during this "here today gone tomorrow" environment we find ourselves living in today. Thanks for the memories John and Mary Ann Dalton

Dear Victoria, I am so sad to read this news. You and Marshall were so kind to me when I first arrived back in Texas in 2004. I am very sorry we have lost touch. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Love, Kathleen ( Huggins) Clarke

SO, so sorry to learn of his passing. Such a gift he was for Houston and art enthusiasts everywhere.

Marshal was a fun, generous, supportive being that fed and impacted many. His light brought many smiles, increased the confidence of Houston's artists, and raised the spirits of those he encountered.

He will remain 39 forever in our hearts.

Much love to Victoria and his loved ones.
