Mrs. Marshall and the Marshall Family
It's said that bad news travels fast, but I find that it isn't so. I'm far from Philadelphia and the news of Joe's death has just reached me.
Besides being a great teacher and a wonderful man, Joe was a mentor to me and got me started on a 42 year legal career that spans two countries.
So many years ago I learned that we shared much in common: neighborhoods, he Brewerytown, me Fairmount. Schools University of Pennsylvania, Temple Law School, Athletics he rowing, me football and amazingly our fraternity - Delta Kappa Epsilon. Remarkably through his kindness I became a law clerk to Chief Justice Bell for whom he had also toiled.
Through the years I was delighted to keep in touch, and also to work with Chip.
I'm saddened by his passing, but honored to have known such a great man.
My sincere condolences to all of you.

Hi, Aunt Kaki. I remember one day years ago that I brought Adrian and Marie to the beach. ( and another time with my sisters and nephews) Uncle Joe was so gracious and light-hearted. I think of you and your family today, Aunt Kaki, in this time of sadness. Light and love to all of you. Bonnie Hauck

Dear Mrs. Marshall, Chip, Cathy, Jim, Elizabeth, Matt and Steve -
Your father was one of the kindest men I ever met at Temple Law School. It was always a pleasure to see him ever after at alumni functions.
I regret that I could not join you in Ardmore last evening because I was at public meeting in Frazer that ended after the Visitation.
Be assured of my friendship and fond regards for each and every one of you.
May our Risen Lord encourage your hearts. God bless you.
Your friend always,
Eugene N. ("Gene") Cipriani, TU Law '77

Dear Marshall family,
I have very warm memory of the times that Joe and Kaki would pay us a visit at Temple University Rome. The staff loved him. Joe was 'Mr. Temple' to me.

Always in awe of cousin Joe and Kaki not only for their professional status in the Philadelphia community but also for the wonderful family life they enjoyed together. Cousin Joe was a very bright and accomplished man, yet humble. Always a joy to be in the company of Joe and Kaki!

Poppa Joe will be sadly missed but the happy memories and shared times will live on in all who met him. He always had something nice to say and his smile could wipe away anything that was troubling beforehand. His legacy lives on in all of his loving children and grandchildren. Godspeed to you.

I am very sorry to learn of the death of legendary Temple Law Professor Joseph Marshall whose gift for making Tax Law interesting was deeply appreciated by a generation of Philadelphia lawyers. He was sui generis and his passing is a great loss to all who knew him.

When I think of Joe Marshall, I think of the sweet, gentle man who I am blessed to say was my uncle. Having a wonderfully large family of his own, he also embraced the multitude of cousins that made up his extended family. I will miss his smile, the twinkle in his eye, and the warmth he extended to everyone. With a heavy heart, I send my love to Aunt Kaki and all of the Marshalls.
