My sincere condolences to the family. He was our Trust Manager and I too made the move through the different bank mergers and acquisitions in El Paso along with Dahl. May you find comfort and peace at this difficult time.
I was Mr.Marshalls nurse at his Drs office for several years and he was always a pleasure to see. He had a read dry sence of humor which I loved…My sympathy to his family because I know he will be missed. May God comfort you in this time as only he can do..
I worked with Dahl at Cullen Center Bank in the 70’s. He was a wonderful, brilliant man who gave me every encouragement and opportunity in my career one could ever hope for. I keep him alive in my heart – I will always treasure the privilege I had of working with him. He and his family are in my prayers…..
Dahl and I grew up on the same block and were in the same classes in Beacon Hill Elementary School. Dahl, my sister Dorothy and I spent much of our childhood playing together. We three loved putting on shows and circuses in our garage.
Dahl was an extremely intelligent, inventive and talented person – fun, too. When talking to me or Dorothy on the phone, Dahl would sometimes say “hold on a minute” – then race down the block to knock on our front door to surprise us as we waited on the phone for him to continue the conversation. He got a kick out of that.
Even in elementary school, he was a piano virtuoso – we kids thought he was as good as Oscar Levant, the famous pianist of the movies. He was an amazingly fast runner – my mother nicknamed him “Mile-a-Minute-Marshall.” Mama used to drive him to school along with us.
Dahl used to make the most intricate little buildings and forts out of toothpicks or matchsticks, incredibly detailed. One year we both got hamsters; I had to keep mine in a cage in the garage, Dahl kept his in their house. One very cold morning I went out and found my hamster lying lifeless in the cage. I called Dahl crying, and he came down and fussed at me for keeping my hamster out in the cold. Dahl put together an elaborate funeral for the hamster, using an empty tin can for a coffin, even sealing the lid on with candle wax, and he engineered a sort of winch and hoist mechanism for lifting the “coffin” and placing it in the grave we dug. I cried, we all sang, and we buried the hamster with full honors. When Dahl went home later, he called frantically and said for us to dig up my hamster, as his hamster was “lifeless” too, but his Father said it was probably just hibernating and they managed to revive him. We ran out and dug up “Cookie” – but unfortunately after being hermetically sealed in a tin can for hours, he really was dead.
Recently I saw Dahl’s email address on the reunion website, so Dorothy and I emailed him, and we enjoyed catching up on the phone and by email.
I hope this message isn’t too long; I wanted his kids to know what an interesting child their father was, and how much we cared about him.
I pray for his family – I know they will miss him. There is probably some beautiful piano playing going on in Heaven right now.

My Father served in the Army with Marshall at Ft. Benning in 1962. My Dad passed away three weeks ago and I found a letter that Marshall and my Dad co-authored in 1962. I would like to share it with you if you are interested. My EM is Keith@EllisOnline.com.
Thank you, and my condolences on the loss of your Father. Having just lost mine, I understand your grief. TY,
Keith Ellis
