So much later, I have just read about the passing of Basil. He was a solid friend, and wasnt wavered by BS. His kindness and strength were a beacon for so many. Thank God we were able to know him. I hope you are all doing well.

Thank You Dr. Marryshow for all your dedication to medicine. It was you that diagnosed my curved spine when I was age 6 and provided treatment for me. 41 years later I have not had a problem. God bless your family and thank you

Dr. Marryshow took care of my dad years ago and because of his concern and care is probably one reason my dad is still here today. Mr.D.C.Starr [90yrs old].He met with me [daughter] and told me of my dads illness and gave explanation.
Very kind MAN!

Dear Floy and the Marryshow family --
We were shocked to hear of his passing. They were expecting him back at work very soon. Joe often shared his e-jokes, which, most times we both enjoyed.
We will certainly miss him.

Dear Floy and family - Susan Feierabend forwarded the obituary to me and I am very appreciative to have the opportunity to express my sympathy for your great loss. I liked, admired and respected Dr. Marryshow. He was always kind and professional in his clinical work. And he had the most beautiful handwriting of anyone I have known - not so typical for a physician.
Floy you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult period.
Sincerely, Cheryl King Brill

Our sincere condolences to the Marryshow family. Doc Marryshow left an indelible impression on those whose lives he touched. He had a big caring heart and donated so much of his time to worthy causes. Every conversation with him was a fascinating delight; he was the one you always wanted to be seated next to at an event. We admired his ability to relate to children and adults from all backgrounds and he will be missed by us all.
Sincerely,
Maria Christina and Mark Mohney

To Floy and the Marryshow family,
My deepest sympathy on the passing of Dr. Marryshow. This is a sad week for the original Passavant "family".
I've known Dr. Marryshow for a long time and enjoyed working with him.
He had a great smile and kind heart.
He was one of the few people that I allowed to call me "Susie".
May he rest in peace in God's loving hands.
Very sincerely,
Susan Weigel Feierabend
