Marshall you will be missed greatly by a devout community of racers, friends, and 'foes' at the Challenge. We all had a great time, he was always prepared with a red Powerade for me on challenge days, and the only client that gave me a XMas card personally (Of course it was of two drag cars with his name on the faster one).

RIP Marshall. You're a good man and I'll miss hearing your stories on the drive home from work. Your old parts are still on my car and each time I put the pedal to the medal I'll think of you.

I didn't know the man, but he was a racer, vette owner and fellow car guy. RIP Marshall.
I feel the disturbance in the Force.

You could always count on a smile on Marshal's face and some great hot dogs at the track!

Rest in peace Marshal, you will be missed by many.



My heart says but I know Marshal would want us to say
