Jamie Dupree Washington Insider … The Gift of Royal Marshall, the quiet man who made a difference

Raymond Royal Marshall was a producer for the Neal Boortz radio talk show, but he was as much a radio personality as Boortz himself.

Via Jamie Dupree @ AJC:

A week after his sudden death, hundreds of well wishers turned out on Saturday in Decatur, Georgia, to bid our friend Royal Marshall a final farewell. It was a heart wrenching scene as Royal’s widow and his two young children approached his casket in the Ray of Hope Church where Royal had touched the hearts of so many. But the tears turned to laughter later on, as friends and family paid tribute to his life. “I can’t remember one day he was in a bad mood,” said Neal Boortz, who choked up as he said that Royal “was supposed to come to my services.” Boortz said too much of the last week had focused on Royal’s time working for WSB in Atlanta, when he said that Marshall deserved to be remembered for his devotion to his family and friends.
