Marshall Erwin Harrison ’42

MARSH DIED Oct. 11, 1991, after a long battle with cancer, in Woodbridge, Conn. At the time of his death he was active as a consultant to the restaurant business he founded. Many Princetonians will remember a Friday evening before the Yale game when Marsh hosted the entire Princeton Marching Band in his New Haven restaurant.

Marsh came to Princeton from Hopkins Grammar and graduated with honors in economics. With Malcolm Forbes'41 he helped found the Nassau Sovereign and became its business manager. He roomed with Walter Morse and Bill Warfield and was a member of Elm Club. During WWII he served in the Pacific as armament officer with the 41st Bombardment Group, and was discharged as a captain.

After the war Marsh worked for a time in the family clothing business in New Haven and then became the V.P. of the Paul Tishman Construction Co. in New York. In 1963 an avocation became his vocation as he became founder and president of the General Restaurants Corp. of New Haven. His enthusiasm, friendliness and wit were wonderful. To all who knew Marsh he was a true friend. He will be deeply missed but not forgotten.

To his widow, Jean; to his daughter Virginia; and to his sons James and Paul; the Class extends its most sincere condolences.
