It is with great sorrow to tell the group that mmmmarshall (Marshall Rosenthal), member of the Meetup Club, passed away in the wee hours of the morning of Jan 9, 2012.

Rest in Peace.

I first met Marshall at the Coco's Deep Fried Lobster meetup in 2009. After receiving the sandwich he ordered, I think because he arrived a little later, everyone started taking a photo of him and it at the same time.

yums

Links to everyone else's photos on that page. Whenever I think of him I remember this moment and how silly it all was. Everyone was laughing.

Rest in Peace, Marshall.

Thanks for posting my photo. He will be missed by many.

I worked with a number of ex-newspapermen and they are the greatest . . . one story after the next, each one better than the last one.

Saw the extended obit while reading the Sun-Times at lunch and was shocked and saddened. Although we exchanged emails and photo comments, I regret that I never met him in person.

There's going to be a memorial service on Feb. 11 ,,, not sure where yet but it will be in downtown, most probably at the bar where he used to hang out with fellow journalists - the legendary Riccardo's, now Stefani's on Rush. I will let you know once things are finalized.
