MARSHALL BERMAN Obituary

BERMAN, Marshall Allyn Born in Hartford, CT, passed away on Monday, February 8, at his longtime residence in Framingham, MA at the age of 88. He was the loving husband of the late Inez (Sack) Berman, devoted father to his daughter Stephanie and husband David Schafer of Buffalo Grove, IL, his son Andrew Berman and husband David German of Washington, D.C., his son Russell Berman and wife Linda Ackermann-Berman of Long Beach, CA, beloved brother of Beth Berman of Avon, CT, and cherished brother-in-law to Barry Sack and friend Linda Salberg. Marshall also leaves behind six adored grandchildren: Caroline Schafer and fiance Alan McConnell, Dana Schafer, Sara and Amanda Berman, and Ben and Matthew Berman, his close friend Rose McClintock, and many other relatives and longtime friends. Marshall was a graduate of Harvard College. He spent 14 years as a structural engineer, followed by 23 years at the Stone & Webster Engineering Company in the Cost/Schedule department, and five years working with the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (the Big Dig). He will be missed dearly, especially for his great sense of humor and kindness. Services will be private. A Memorial Service will be held in the future. Marshall was a lifelong fan of the Boston Red Sox, so in lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to The Jimmy Fund, an organization supported by the Red Sox since 1953. Levine Chapels, Brookline

I worked with Marshall at the Big Dig. We share office space with me. He was a very nice person, very funny. We enjoyed talking about the Red Sox and went to lunch, usually in Chinatown, once a week! I was just starting out there, only having been around a couple of years. He was very nice to me and everyone we worked with. He will be missed!

Condolences to Marshall's family. I haven't seen Marshall in many years, but I have warm and fond memories of a dear man with a broad smile, a good joke and a big and loving heart. Always a twinkle in his eyes. I hope you take comfort that he had a long life filled with family and friends. I send love and sympathy.

Dear Kids, I have let the remaining Sack cousins know, and to a person they all said, oh that lovely, kind man. I pride myself on having made the match between your mother and father, and am grateful to have had Marshall's friendship for so many years. He was wonderfully proud of all of you and your children, and in his care for our darling Inez he became an honorary Sack. I send you love and sympathy, May his memory bless you. Cousin Judith Klau

Marshall and I knew each other for over 20 years. Marshall was smart, kind and considerate . He loved to have fun, had an indomitable spirit and lived life to its fullest.

I will miss my friend Marshall. I will miss our conversations about Harvard and Columbia and I always told him Columbia was best.

May his memory be of a blessing to Marshall's family and all those who knew him.

Marshall was a wonderful friend. For many years, every Tuesday night we played poker. A precise individual, he knew exactly whether he was ahead or behind in the game. Unfortunately, he wasn't ahead this time and we lost him too soon. He will always be remembered for his character and his sunny disposition. He will be sorely missed.
