Our sincere condolences to the Marshal Young family. We remember when he retired from EMC, we tried to convince him to stay another 6 months or thereabouts so he could join the 20-year club. Undeterred, he knew there were more important things to do and spend time with. He was such a great person. We all loved him and know we can learn a lot from how he lived his wonderful life.

Marshall was my first boyfriend in fifth grade at dunscombe school in ft dodge. After high school we lost touch until our class reunions began. I bumped into him on rag -brai after that I rode that event with Marshall and his bike club.fir many years. I stayed with he and Betty many times. while visiting Iowa and Betty and I became good friends. She and I traveled to Ecuador fir three weeks together. A memorable trip. I am saddened by his passing. and glad we had an ongoing friendship for those many years.

So sorry to read that Marshall passes away. I worked with Marshall and he guided me on my first RAGBRAI in 1990 with you. I went with him and the Des Moines Cycle club all through the 90's. He was the best of people

I worked with Marshall at EMC. He always had a *SMILE* and would take the time to ask how you were doing.
I know he left behind many memories to remember him by.
Condolences to Mike, Stephanie and his grandchildren.
