On September 14, 1963, in the St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Bill married Veronica “Roni” Samick, who survives.  They were blessed to share over 59 years of marriage.

In addition to his parents, Bill was preceded in death by two children: his son, James William Marshall and his daughter, Gail Lynn Marshall; his granddaughter, Ashley Marshall; and his brother, Leo Marshall.

Bill was a dedicated member to his community while serving on several boards that included the St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Andrew Kaul Memorial Hospital, and the Community Nurses.  Bill enjoyed traveling with Roni and their friends, playing golf, and cheering for the Pittsburgh Steelers.  He found his most joy following his grandkids’ sports teams as they grew up.
