I am so sorry to hear of Wilbur's passing. I worked with him for many years at St. Vincent. He was a kind man. Even after he retired, when I saw him at the mall, he always had a big hug for me.

Marshall Family,

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing Mr. Marshall. He was always an upbeat guy with that charming smile and a good word for whomever he encountered. I recall several days seeing him at the gold course working on his short game or retrieving "stray golf balls". My prayers and condolences go to the entire family during this most delicate time and the for the transition days. God bless.
