Lis and family,
I am so sorry for your loss and you are in my thoughts and prayers. I remember buying my first computer from Dick in the late 1980s, it was his used AT&T. I am here for you if you need anything at all.

Lis,
I remember that Dick always found something to chuckle about, even when he didn't feel especially well. He was a great help to me while employed at The Chesapeake House on the Bay. You and all your family are in our prayers.
God will be there for you to lean on.
Kevin and I will always remember our friendship with the Marshall's even though we are hundreds of miles apart.

Dick was such an important part of The Chesapeake House. You knew the mailman was near when you saw Dick in the lobby in his favorite chair. he was always happy to share his insights and many funny stories with our residents. He will be greatly missed and our hearts go out to Lis, Tim, Julie, Jeremy and Leah.

I was very sad to hear the news yesterday. We worked at the AT&T plant. I remember him helping us on many projects. He was always cheerful and social. We will miss him. God bless his soul.
