We heard the news on Thursday from our long-time friends Doug and Earlena Marshall that Doug's father, Otis had passed. Mr. Otis Marshall made living into his tenth decade look quite youthful which is why we and many others looked forward to celebrating with him on his 100th birthday and beyond. We are saddened by his passing but will never forget his smile, his enthusiasm for living and his and Miss Kitty's many kindnesses to our young family when we lived in Alabama. We have many happy memories of spending time with them at the house in Panama City and at occasions in Ozark and Montgomery. Our love and condolences go out to the family.
