William Walter Marsh, Sr. “Bill”

William Walter Marsh, Sr. “Bill”, born January 18, 1934 in Chicago IL, passed away at the age of 88 on January 19, 2022 in Cincinnati OH.

Bill worked in the financial services business for over 50 years, representing Lincoln National Life and Pension, as well as many other companies.  He treated clients like friends and loved the work he did.  He enjoyed running his own practice under Marsh & Associates and bringing honesty and integrity to the business.  He never formally retired.

He worked to provide for others and loved doing just that.  He beamed when he took his grandkids to Disney World and loved to see their faces on Christmas morning!  As he traveled all over the world, he would bring back presents for the grandkids.  You would see him at every event one of the kids or grandkids had, whether sports or theater, bad weather or good, he was there to participate in their lives!  He loved to entertain and enjoyed friends and family.  We lift a glass to toast his memory!
