I just learned of Marion's passing. I so enjoyed knowing Marion for many years. His cheerful disposition was infectious. He was one of the hardest working people I ever knew. I took my grandson out to Marion's property once when we were on a search for bricks. Marion and I walked the property and he chatted with my grandson. When we left my 7-year-old grandson said, " This place is cool. I wish he was my grandpa." I will never forget that or the happiness I felt whenever I would happen to meet up with Marion at the store. My deepest sympathy.
