Richard M. Marshall

my precious cousin ricky, we were blessed with a special bond. you were the cutest little toe head to ever walk this earth. at least aunt ruth thinks so! how you could be so adorable and such a terror (espiecially to donna and terri) always baffled me. remember tearing down the fence at seabrook beach so dick and tim could serenade us with "old man river" by the campfire, not knowing which would get us first-the tide or the police!  remember all of the xmas eves with nana , always ending with our family's awesome rendition of "silent night"? you were an awesome santa claus, even though your nephew chris knew who you were.  remember the pool parties, espiecially on the 4th of july,shaking up the neighborhood with fireworks? you did a mean cannonball. remember our family band led by aunt eileen? you sang a mean "chicken pot pie". remember the thanksgiving football games,blackberry brandy,and nana's annual story of how dick was her thanksgiving turkey? i still say i threw a better football than you.
remember our marathon tutoring sessions? i was amazed at how you soaked up trigonometry like a sponge. i was so proud of you, and also very thankful for my payment in 6 packs. who said learning math can't be fun!
be at peace, knowing how much you are loved by so many.
mom and the family will be well taken care of. 
i will still always feel your big bear hugs. have one waiting for me...   cousin toni

To all of Rick's family Please accept my sincerest condolences... I remember many fun times at your Aunt Eileen and Uncle Al's place. Your Dad, Dick, was not only my brother-in-law's brother, but my first insurance agent many years ago. Be at peace until we all meet again.

Ricketts - you are such a part of our lives and our family. You have touched every one of us in such a wonderful and unique way. We love you.

So sorry to hear of Ricky's passing.
I remember our times in high school.
D. Brown class of 1974

We were truly saddened to hear about Rick's passing, He was a great guy who will be sorely missed.

Ricketts some people go by in life unnoticed, YOU did not. We will miss the warmth and laughter you always carried with you. Love, The Blakes

Ricky, I can't believe you are gone. I will miss you so much. We had our squabbles like every brother and sister but being only 10 months apart, we had a special bond. I am so sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me the most. I should have known. My heart is broken in two and I don't think it will ever mend. It hurts so much. You are with Dad now. Give him a big hug and kiss for me and tell him I love him. You will both be in my heart forever.
Until I see you again, I love you and will miss you more than you will ever know.
Love, Sis.

You will truly be missed Rickets, you always had a smile and a hug for everyone. You could light up the room by walking into it. I hope you will rest now in peace.
Love you,
Dee

Words can't describe how much we will miss your big ready smile, laugh, hugs, stories (even if we already heard them), watching ball games and races, going for motorcycle rides and having a friend who is always there for you. There will always be an empty spot in our hearts. We miss and love you!!!!

We'll miss you Ricketts. You were a good friend with a big heart. Our deepest sympathies to all who loved him.

I am so sorry about Ricketts. He will be greatly missed. He was always there for a big hug and a good laugh. You were a great friend. Love ya Ricketts!!!! Please rest in peace!!!!

We are sorry to hear about Rick's passing. We did not know him very well, but everytime we saw him he would make a point to come and say "HI" and give a big hug...He always had a big smile on his face and his warm and friendly personality will be missed. Our sympathies to the whole family.
