You and the Waters' family are in our prayers, and yes precious memories of him will linger on.

As I read through the warm and cogent remarks, mainly from the Waters family, I am reminded of my own appreciation of Marshall. I first came into contact with Mr. Waters in 1980 during the course of my first post-education job in life, as Assistant City Solicitor in Harrisburg.

My Uncle Terry and Cousin Stevie said it well. Uncle Marshall was definitely a giant among men.

I will always remember him at our family reunion, sitting in the middle of all who had gathered, and using a paper cup with bottom removed as a megaphone to address the crowd!

I am blessed and fortunate for having such great community leaders as relatives. Civic participation is the true mark of the Waters family.

Uncle Marshall S. Waters, you...

Well Stephanie said it all about Uncle Marshall. I can remeber him standing on the porch of his house on Cameron street watching my cousin Allen and I get a bag of chips from the Yellow Front and making sure that is all we got. That is when people knew it took a village to raise a child.

I can still...
