Mr. Marshall was a one of a kind! He had a lot of money but that did not show one bit. He was as down to earth as you could get! We are still looking for him to come through the doors at the Comfort Inn with little Max to check on things and crack a few jokes! We miss him so much here! Prayers for the family!

You were a wonderful man, great to work with and made life so much brighter. Thank you for your guidance and advise that you gave everyday. I still look out of the office window thinking I will see you pull up in that red truck to check on things. We miss you very much but know you are in a better place. Praying for Margaret, Bob Jr, Phyllis, Pat and Casey through this very difficult time.

Margaret, & Family, My Father,(Ralph L. Thomasson,Sr.) son of Nannie Hamlett,& John J. Thomasson, thought very highly of "Bobby",& had great respect for him. Dad always said Bobby was a leader, & a doer. I can remember Aunt Cora, as she would visit when I was young. I remember ''Bobby", as smiling, happy, & always glad to see you. May you find comfort in knowing that" Bobby's" life was well-lived here, & he gave many good memories to a lot of people.May God Bless You All in the coming days; let your loving memories be comforting to you.With heartfelt sympathy, & love, Martha, & Family

Dear Mrs. Marshall, Pat, Bob, Phyllis, and Casey. I am so sorry for your loss. Bobby will be plenty missed. I know I will never forget him. I had known him since I was a teenager. He always had a joke or teased me relentlessly all the way through adulthood. I looked up to him and respected him. It's my prayer that God stays with you always and gives you the comfort you need at this time. Much love and peace to you all.
