Theron Ludlow Marsh, known to the class as Curly, died, July 30, 2007, at the age of 95.

He was born Dec. 9, 1911, in Madison, N.J., with full head of curly hair. Though he became bald in his later years, the nickname Curly remained with him.

After graduating from Princeton, Curly received a degree from the Stonier Graduate School of Banking at Rutgers University. He served in the Army during World War II, rising to the rank of major.

Curly spent his career in banking. In 1972 he was named chairman and chief executive officers of Midlantic Banks Inc. (now PNC Bank). He was a former president of the Essex Bankers Association and a member of the board of regents of the Essex County (N.J.) Chapter of the American Institute of Banking, among other positions.

He dedicated much time to many organizations and took many leadership positions in the business community. He enjoyed golf and being a member of the New York Yacht Club.

He is survived by his wonderful wife, Mincie, whom we all love.
