What a guy, I have many of his informative posts tucked away for future use. I wonder how old he was.

I remember him as far back as 1998 when the Stu Ritter/Richard Easley tech mail list was going full steam, when the internet was still pretty new.
Generous with information, and a legendary poster in terms of quality and number of posts. "Marshall -- August M. Booth, Jr. PhD Univ. of Pittsburgh School of Medicine '87 300TD, '87 190D 2.5, '84 190D 2.2, '84 190D 2.2, '85 190D 2.0, MBCA GW Section" RIP

Wow, that's a shock.
Marshall will be sorely missed. His breadth of knowledge and experience on M/B diesels won't easily be replaced. Rest in peace. |

Sorry to hear that. I wondered why he hadn't been heard from in a while.
Very knowledgeable guy. Very informative. Thanks for letting us know.

Yeah, I followed Marshall's postings since I was a freshman in high school (about 9 years ago) from the older lists.
His demonstrated knowledge of the 60x series diesels was second to none. Definitely a shock...Marshall was like a Mercedes diesel god to me. I'm sure he's in a better place.

I listen to everybody. But since I started this I've had a group of three or four people that I always tended to regard as... definitive, when it came to these cars. Marshall was one of those at the head of that list... At least he was peacefully with his family - that's one thing to be grateful for no matter what.
