Marion retired from the DGSC after 43 years of service. He was also a U.S. Navy veteran. Marion loved the "game of softball," where he started out pitching fast pitch and then slow pitch, having a son-in-law and son later joining him on the same team. Most of all, he loved his family and especially the grandchildren.

A memorial service with Masonic Rites and military honors will be held 11 a.m. Tuesday, May 22, at the Virginia Veterans Cemetery at Amelia. The family would like to thank James River Hospice for their excellent care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to Shriners Hospitals for Children or to the Melanoma Cancer Fund at melanoma.org. Arrangements are by Bennett Funeral Home.
