DAVID EDWARD MARSHALL It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather. David was born in Manitoba on July 19, 1922 and passed away on October 27, 2015, at 93 years of age, at Cairnsmore Place, Duncan, BC. David was predeceased by his loving wife Irene, of 67 years, in 2013; his sister Ailene; brothers, John, Jim, Roy and Ron. He is survived by his daughter Norma Claus (Bob) of Duncan, BC; sons, Douglas of Surrey, BC and Raymond Marshall (Sheila) of Cranbrook, BC, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister Pearl and brother Robert of Manitoba, and brother Don of Alberta; and sisters-in-law, Barbara, Jean and Irene, along with numerous nieces and nephews. David lived a very interesting life and in many places. Dad served overseas with the Winnipeg Rifles. Upon his return, he spent some years in the oil industry working for Texaco and B.A. in Manitoba and Ontario. He owned and operated a truck stop in Ontario before returning to BC. He owned and operated a restaurant, the Brentwood Inn for a few years and then returned to Alberta where he worked with the grain elevators. In the early 1970s, he returned to BC and began working at the Cowichan District Hospital and Cairnsmore Place, in maintenance and laundry. He retired in 1986 and moved to the Okanagan and returned to Duncan in 2002. The family would like to thank Dr. Mark Sanders for his care and all the staff at Cairnsmore Place for their kindness and loving care that they gave Dad. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Cairnsmore Place, 260 Cairnsmore St., Duncan, BC V9L 4H2 would be very much appreciated. Online condolences may be made at www.hwwallacecbc.com
