Roy Douglas Marshall

Roy Douglas Marshall, “Doug,” 82, passed away Christmas Day with family at his bedside in St. Peter’s Hospital after a brief battle with cancer.

His roots in the area ran deep, continuing the family legacy at the R.D. Marshall & Co., Inc. HVAC company and raising two daughters with his beloved wife Margaret “Midge” Rowley Marshall.

A more fulsome obituary will be available soon once his daughter Cindy can pare down a life well lived and a father greatly loved to a manageable size.

He leaves behind sister Janet Sue Erickson and her husband Jerry Erickson, daughter Cynthia Marshall St. Jean and son-in-law James David St. Jean, daughter Pamela Sue Marshall, and grandsons James Douglas and Christopher Ryan St. Jean.

The family will receive visitors at Applebee Funeral Home in Delmar, NY on Saturday, January 17, 2026 from 1 to 4 pm.
