Sadly I am just seeing this news today. As I have been reflecting these last few years I was looking high and low to find the educator who opens my eyes. If it would not have been for this great man... He taught me to work harder, told me the importance of dressing professionally, and the love of history. I researched him for a paper in High school then lost touch. As I am not teaching I think of him his firm but patient, just but fair and funny when allowed ways he taught. I hope I can one day touch a life the way he touches mine. God Bless you Mr Marshall, R.I.P. ~ Sonia Miranda

My deepest condolences on your loss of this very special man. Not too many people remain such a strong influence on young people's lives, but he truly was a major influence in mine. His strength and compassion at Edgewood High were second to none. 60's song "To Sir With Love" by Lulu truly always touched my heart, because it could have been written for him. He led me through the idiocy of my teen years and inspired me to be a better and more loving woman. God Bless you always, Mr Marshall and to your family, may you find solace in knowing how much he was loved by so many.

Mr. Marshall was a good man. I was at school(Edgewood) I had sprung my ankle and I could not walk. He actually gave me a ride home. He blew the horn at every intersection. I asked why he said I have to make sure I get you home safe.
God truly wanted a good man.
