Marshall,
Thank you for all the time you spent with me and sharing the knowlege about bike building. Everyday I spent with you was always the best day of my life. Your gift of knowlege was very important to me. You gave me inspiration and power to accomplish them on my own. Knowing you was the best thing in my life. I'm so sad you left me so soon. Forever I ride with you in mind and in my heart. Rest in peace Marshall untill we meet again.

I had the pleasure of knowing Marshall very well. I played drums at the tavern many times and enjoyed his friendship very much. My fondest memories are of many pool games, a few motorcycle runs, trailer hauls, late night burgers at The Bull; and many friendships made playing with many musicians at Mi Place Tavern. Marshall was a very kind and generous man who helped a lot of people along the way. Marshall had a great sense of humor and was one of the best guys I had the pleasure of knowing. RIP dear friend, you will be missed...blessings and condolences to all.

We, the ownership and employees of Domiracer Distributors, are very saddened by the news of Marshall's passing. Marshall has been a Domiracer dealer since April of 1975, and although we never met in person, I would recognize his voice whenever he called, even if it had been awhile since we had last spoke. The vintage European motorcycle world has lost a knowledgeable & competent mechanic & parts man.
Tony Schanz, Vice President, Domiracer Distributors.

I started working for Marshall when I was 15 years old. He's been a good friend for 40 years. He'll be missed.

Marshall- Thanks for all the years (45) of good times, the memories, and all the motorcycle parts. You will be dearly missed. Condolences go out to Marshall's family as well; He was such a hoot!

So sorry to hear that Marshall passed away. Living right around the corner from him, we would occassionally stop to see him or he would stop to see us. His last visit was this summer and he knew it wouldn't be much longer--he was hoping to make it to Christmas. He just about made it. Hopefully his last days were pain free. God bless.

Marshall was a very good friend and very special person. He really enjoyed his motorcycle rides on weekends and lots of laughter with friends. He was very nice to all people and loved playing pool. He will be missed by many.
