Dr. Marshall obtained the valuable advice from medical institutions such as the University of Virginia, Medical College of Virginia, John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, and the New York Hospital (Conell University Medical College). This kidney transplant program continues as strongly as it did from the beginning and has proven to be of eminent value to the community of Portland and the state of Maine. The late Statesman, Edmund Muskie, lent his support and greatly contributed to the success of the program’s development. In recognition of his work in the development of the transplant program, Dr. Marshall was presented with the Kiwanis Club of Portland’s Distinguished Service Award in 1975.
Through Dr. Marshall’s continuing care and concern for several of his patients, he interested these individuals in contributing funds for extensive building initiatives by the Maine Medical Center. He and his first wife, Helene, were active in the Congregation of St. Alban’s Church of Cape Elizabeth, and worked diligently for the construction of the new church. Dr. Marshall was also a member of the Portland Rotary Club.
Dr. Marshall and his second wife, Margaret Risk, a native of Scotland, were married in 1996, and lived most of the year in Spain and Scotland and in New Harbor in the summer.
