I agree with Carl Richardson. I always thought he resembled Robert Redford. Craig was a very handsome man. The last time I saw Craig was at his brother, Brian Marsh's funeral. I gave him a big hug. It was like hugging Robert Redford. Was very sorry to hear that he passed. He was loved by a lot of people in Albion too. RIP Craig. You are with your Mother, Father and your Brother.

I was a student when "Mr. Marsh" was Asst Principal at the Middle School. At the time he looked just like Robert Redford and had a mustache like the one Redford had in the Sundance Kid role. He had a poster of Robert Redford in his office as well. - Just in case you didn't see the resemblance.
As an Asst Principal, he was the disciplinarian for the school. Students never wanted to be sent to his office.
Just wanted to share this memory with his family and friends.
