A Muncie native, Roger was the son of Charles and Frances Marsh, and brother of Loren Marsh.

Hi, I was Mr. Marsh's New Director when he ran in the Republican primary for Congress in 1976. I also worked at the Indiana State Highway Commission and knew him as a kind, soft-spoken person.
While going through some things in our attic today, I found a thank you note he sent me after the primary, so I googled him and found this obituary.
Although I only knew him briefly, he was a wonderful person.

Roger Marsh was my uncle, my Father's brother. Uncle Roger was six years younger than my Father, Loren, who passed in May, 2007 at the age of 85. They both loved each other, but battled some too. I remember Uncle Roger also getting to the cookie jar at my Grandmother's (his Mother) before I did. The jar would be empty and I'd also ask Grandma whether Uncle Roger had stopped by recently.
The Grandparents, the Loren Marsh family (4 children: Keith, Doug, Charlene, Margaret) and the Roger Marsh family (5 children: Valerie, Terry, Julie, Andy, and John) got together for 25 years for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. It was great fun and very meaningful.
I'll miss Uncle Roger.
Love, his nephew,
Keith
