We just Learned of David`s passing. A meticulous man with quite a sense of humour. Wendy and I spent many times sailing with him and Dorothy on Hero out of Falmouth and cruising up to Maine, PenopscotBay and Bucks Harbour. We remember one very calm summer morning in Buck Harbour when David was working on his engine and needed some additional RPMs. Across the bay we heard Dorothy loudly say "Here´s your xxxxx 2000 RPM". Extremely fond memories of two very special people.

David Marson was a lovely man. I was best friends with his daughter Debbie all through grammar school and high school. I have countless memories of Mr. and Mrs. Marson, at their home in Belmont, on their boat the Deb-Mar in Falmouth, and so many other countless memories over the years. I will remember him always and my deepest condolences to Debbie and Marsha and their families. Janet O'Connor Robinson

David is the father of my good friend, Debbie, from Colby College. David was always laughing, always joking and always fun. When I think of him, I smile. Thanks for the memories, David. You will be very missed.
