Goodbye Marshall. Perhaps we'll meet on the long journey. Peace, brother. Tom

Marshall was a mentor to both Edie Keller and myself. Working with Marshall and Elizabeth was a joy and the true meaning of philanthropy and making a difference appeared before our eyes. I feel privileged to have known Marshall and I continue to carry on the work of assisting family caregivers.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I had the good fortune to meet Marshall Gelfand and his beautiful wife Judy in Palm Springs - now more than thirty years ago. They were strong supporters of the community, giving of their time, talents and resources for everything from the Palm Springs Desert/Art Museum to Hadassah, Tiempo de los Ninos and Desert Regional Medical Center, the Frank Sinatra Celebrity Golf Invitational and the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center. Later in life, just a few years ago, I had the good fortune to be...

As a teenager at Syracuse University, I was lucky enough to meet Marshall Gelfand (and others at Sigma Alpha Mu). Many great boys and men, but Marshall was the greatest. Why?...because he taught all of us the power and meaning of Service to others. He did so by actions, as well as his words. Many of us will readily acknowledge that he was the first and perhaps top man to emulate in our lives. Long live EAM, and the memories of Marshall Gelfand.

It is with great sadness to write about the loss of such a great strong,
kind friend I had for many decades, Marshall.
Our condolences to Todd Elizabeth Dean and their families. Their tremendous loss of their father who had great love and concern for them and their families.
I was probably one of many friends who felt the Gelfand bond of friendship given generously by Marshall and Judy.
Being twenty years younger than Marshall, I was a young friend who turned to him for...

I met Marshall at a job interview we both was fresh out of college after taking to I thought I had no chance but we both got the job he was a hard worker he set high standards

Marshall was the most committed and loyal friend to Barbara Sinatra and the Children's Center. He was a mentor to me and I will miss our chats about how things are going. Marshall was a wonderful human being who will be missed by all. Our condolences to his wonderful and loving family.
