Susan was in my fourth grade class in Glen Oaks, Queens when Don was on the Rangers in the early sixties. He came into PS115 on open school week to talk to talk to our class. Wonderful person and family.

Don and Betty became like second parents to me when I moved next to them at River Pines in 1995. We shared many meals at their home, a few with Cindy when she was in town. Also had the pleasure of meeting Don Jr, Susan and Darby. I missed them after I moved to the west coast but visited occasionally. Last time I saw them was before Betty passed. My mom and I met Betty and Cindy at a local restaurant in Stuart. That was a sweet day. I came by when I was in town a couple of times after that but they were probably at their summer home. Will always remember their love for each other, for their kids and grandkids and their kindness to friends and their hospitality.

I was fortunate to have met Don and his family as a nurse in the hospital prior to his passing. He was still tall strong and handsome with a devoted family. Mary Rn

My thoughts go out to my old Quebec field hockey teammates...Darby, Cindy and Susan. So sorry for your loss ladies. I'm thinking of you at this sad time. Your dad was one of the good guys!!

I first met Don Marshall at the Miles Grant CC in Stuart, FL. He was gracious and cordial and the epitome of a "gentleman"! And could he hit a golf ball! May he rest in peace. Peg Ansbro

My sincere sympathy to your family. I knew them a very long time ago when they lived in Dorval. I was babysitting, Susan and Darbie at the time, then they moved to Lachine where Don Jr. was born. They were both amazing person. I know your mom passed away a few years ago. Thinking of you in these sad moments. R.I.P.

I grew up in Montreal and in the early 1960´s was an avid hockey fan. Donny was my favorite player. The rare time we were able to get tickets to the old Forum it was a thrill to watch Donny play.
