My dad has touched so many lives during his time here with us. I am so very
proud to have had him as my father! It's been tough being away from so many of
our loved ones from up North. He gave his all and more to the fire service and
on the ambulance. He could be a little rough at times, but it kept him safe
during his years working at NYSDOCS. He came home to us every day and loved us
very much. He provided well for his family. He left behind a loving wife and
partner in life that he would never trade for the world. He is missed so much by
so many, and leaves many of friends here in this world. Dad enjoyed his life and
accomplished so many things, more than we probably will ever know. He's now with
some of his best friends Bob "Barney" Brinks & Dave "Looney Tunes" Blaise
looking down upon us. He loved his hobbies of fishing, bowling, snow plowing,
gardening, days of snowmobiling, playing on his four wheeler, watching NASCAR
and of course his beloved NY Mets! There is still too much to cherish about this
loving man….We will all miss his “when I was chief” stories and his “put it in
the books” comments.
Survivors include wife & life partner, Mary Ann (Comicz) Marshall; daughter Dawn
Marie Marshall, of Madeira Beach, Florida; twin brother Glenn Thomas Marshall of
New Windsor, NY, many cousins, other children: Maria (Vignogna) Grace, Joseph
Reardon, Ashley (Evans) & Thomas Shoemaker, children that he loved dearly from
