My sincere condolences to the Marshall Family. I met Curtiss back in the 1970s at My Late Brother-in-Law’s (Joe Knuckles), House doing one of their barbecue cook-outs along with other American Motors friends and co-workers. Curtiss was always friendly and a Comedian. He was a kind person and he loved his family with all his heart. I am so saddened to learn of his passing because I believe that he was an Angel on this earth before he was called to his heavenly home. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.
