So sad to hear of Mikes passing. I met Mike and Marty many years ago, softball games. Its hard to find the words to say about Mike that hasn’t already been said. He was a kind, compassionate, considerate person. He had a witty funny side to him, that would make everyone laugh. His heart was full of love for Marty and his children, grandchildren and his dearest friends. He will be truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who knew him, and those who loved him.
Marty, Evelyn, and David, So very sorry to hear about Mike. He always had a smile and a kind word. Miss seeing everyone since leaving Quincy. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
One of the Best!
Marty & family, our Deepest Sympathy. His friend from Illinois State Bank. Janet & Tom Scobee
So sorry for Mike’s family. We were HS classmates. Back in our high school days and through out life in Quincy , whenever I ran into Mike, he was such a great person who you enjoyed seeing. We will all miss his smile and great personality!
During our high school years together, Mike and I could be found at the QU tennis courts on many a summer day. Even as an adolescent, he was kind, caring and downright funny. My sincerest sympathy goes out to his family and friends.
Evelyn, I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
Marty and Evelyn, So sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. We will be thinking and praying for all of your family,
So sorry prayers and hugs
Marty, we are so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. He was such a nice guy and enjoyed talking with him when we saw him. If there is anything we can do for you , please let me know.
Mike will be so dearly missed. There are too many amazing stories to share on here, but that’s what happens when the Marshalls are your second family growing up. I’ll miss seeing him on Brentwood, but I know he’s living freely now. Loving and praying for everyone.
