In Memoriam: Remembering Richard C. “Dick” Marsh

 

Richard C. “Dick” Marsh passed away on September 27, 2024 at his home in Ann Arbor after a long illness.

After retiring from the practice of law, Dick was able to pursue his interests as a bibliophile and amateur historian. For over 50 years, he collected association copy books and original documents related to British history, with an emphasis on the life and times of Sir Winston Churchill.

“Dick was an astute and tireless collector of material related to Winston Churchill, and was also a dedicated and loyal friend to the Clements Library. He provided many years of wise counsel to the library in his role as a member of the Clements Library Associates Board of Governors, along with his signature kindness and warm wit. We will miss him tremendously.” – Paul Erickson, Randolph G. Adams Director of the Clements Library.

In lieu of flowers, the Marsh Family requests that donations be made to the Richard C. and Mary Jo Marsh Fellowship at the Clements Library.
