Allen Clifford Marshall

Born on December 30th, 1943 in Mechanicstown, Ohio to Wilfred and Louise Marshall, “Al” was raised on his family’s farm. After graduating from high school he joined the United States Air Force and served his country for 4 years. Afterwards, Al owned his own electrical business for a short while. He then worked for L.E. Meyers electrical construction company. Upon moving to the Greater Dayton area he worked as a prolineman for DP&L (Dayton Power & Light) until he retired. He lived a life of hard work, infinite acts of service for others, and love for his country. He enjoyed going to the gun range, listening to Rush Limbaugh on talk radio and in his retirement traveling across the country with his wife Jo Deane. He battled cancer for several years before he died.
