Rest in peace Marshall Smith. The lone son you left behind was my wonderful Grandfather. From this branch today you would have 4 great great grandchildren and 11 great great great grandchildren. I thank police officers repeatedly for their service and would have thanked you if I was able. Even though your life was short you left quite a legacy. God Bless our law enforcement.

John DePauw
Great Grandson
