Marsh, Jr. <! >
11/24/24 ~ 5/5/03
Roy W. Marsh, Jr., age 78, passed away on May 5, 2003, surrounded by his loving family, at his home in Salt Lake City after a valiant battle with emphysema.
He was born on November 24, 1924 in Casper, Wyoming, to Mildred Houck Marsh and Roy Walter Marsh, Sr. He married Jacqueline Harrison on June 18, 1949. He attended East High, graduated from South High and attended both the University of Utah and Westminster College. Prior to serving overseas, he trained with the 10th Mountain Division Ski Troops. He served in both World War II and the Korean War, rising to the rank of Staff Sergeant.
He was the owner and president of R.W. Marsh & Son, Inc, the first silk screen printing company in Salt Lake City, founded in 1934 by his father. The business expanded to include Technical Service and Supply (founded in 1969), where he offered invaluable advice to both experienced and novice screen printers throughout the intermountain west. Both companies are still in operation today. Roy was an avid golfer, fisherman, an exceptionally graceful skier in his younger days, and a lover of animals. His sense of humor, generous heart and willingness to help resulted in lifelong friends and a devoted family. He was a dedicated husband and father.
He is survived by his wife, Jacqueline; children Susan Christensen (Dennis Christensen), Alpine; Sandra Marsh, Salt Lake City; Sally Haglund (Paul Haglund) Chicago; Roy W. Marsh III (Michelle Sudbury Marsh), Salt Lake City, and 10 grandchildren.
The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to the staff at Rocky Mountain Hospice.
