Frank (Doc) Marshall 6th Intake January 1959 crossed the bar on Tuesday the 24thJune. Doc was a Chippy who rose to the rank of CMDR. I served with him at Creswell and my first wife Helen and I had lots of great times with his wife Pixie and Doc. Condolences to Pixie and the family. Funeral arrangements to follow. RIP buddy. |

Frank was a Senior Apprentice (8th Term) when Ned and I joined in July '62, but I never crossed paths with him out in The Fleet. The following was forwarded to me from Ned to post...  Always sad to lose another early MOBI...  VALE:  Rest on your oars, Frank, your journey's done...... R.I.P. [-o<

So sad to hear, Frank was Chief Chippy on "Hobart" when we did the six month deployment to the US in '72, a top bloke, softly spoken but very knowledgeable. Commiserations to Pixie. |

Very sad to hear! I had the privilege of serving with Frank at GMGID during my time as a PJP, and he was one of nature's gentlemen, always calm, and quietly spoken with a great sense of humour and an infectious laugh. Always willing to share his knowledge and companionship with all. Fond memories. Condolences to his family and friends, I am sure he will be missed greatly. Vale Frank, RIP and may you have fair winds and following seas. It was a pleasure to have known and served with you. |
