Shellie-- very sorry for your loss. -- Maas

While I never met him, in a very challenging time in my life I found great solace in writing. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I read Marshall and admired Marshall long before I met him. It turns out he was as even more fun to know - a great talker, charming, insightful and a connoisseur of not only music, art, and visual culture but also of fashion. In short he was as interesting in real life as in his books, a rare combination. I will miss his presence on the Upper West Side and seeing him at numerous gatherings.
My condolences to Shellie, to Danny and to Eli.

Until we see you, please know you are in our thoughts and that, in the Quaker phrase, we are holding you in the light.
