Robert Marshall Obituary

MARSHALL, Robert "Bob" Clark, 82, of Lynchburg, passed away Wednesday, September 22, 2021, in his home at Westminster Canterbury Retirement Community. He was the husband, first, to the late Barbara Anderson Marshall, second to the late Peggy Durham Marshall and third to Joan Lewis Marshall, who survives.

Mr. Marshall was born in Hat Creek, Campbell County, Virginia, on October 26, 1938, son of the late James Robert Marshall and Pauline Fore Marshall.

In addition to his wife; he is survived by a son, Rick Marshall of Washington, D.C.; a daughter, Sheral Mehlenbacher of New York; two granddaughters, Stephanie Picostark (Steven), Jessica Stark (Mark Dimaapi); brother-in-law, Walter Haussener; sister-in-law, Janice Anderson.

Bob led a dedicated life spending time with his family, giving devotion to his faith and service to his country.

Bob followed his military career by continuing work with avionics engineering firms supporting the USMC and Naval Aviation missions throughout the world.
