His friends wrote these words in a tribute to him at UNC: “He was a lifelong Tar Heel blessed with a loving family a wide range of friends spanning before UNC, through a very successful business career in New York City with his family life in Bronxville. Among all the gifts, Marshall was blessed with the singular quality about him that will be remembered the most was his positivity!”
Marshall’s quiet strength, loyalty, and easy smile will be missed by all who knew him, but certainly not forgotten. A Celebration of Life Service will take place at a future date as COVID permits.
