    Kirk and Rodney, So sorry about the passing of your dad.  My mom and her cousins always talked about Marshall (funny stories).  He outlived the old gang from WHS, good for him.  I hope he's celebrating with all of them now.  Please know that you are both in my thoughts and prayers.

    We are saddened to hear of the passing of our Uncle Marshall.  Marshall was one of the few remaining survivors of World War II, part of "The Greatest  Generation".  He was a kind, good man and an asset to his community and his family.  He was loved by his parents, his brothers, his wife, his sons, his granddaughters, his nephews, and the remaining members of the Dalrymple-McCullough family.  Eternal rest grand unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.   May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, rest 8n peace.  Amen.
