Royal Marshall 

By Martha Zoller

By now most of you have heard of the death of Royal Marshall.  http://wsbradio.com/localnews/2011/01/remembering-royal-marshall.html

 

Royal was a good man.  A husband, father and one of the nicest guys I've ever known.  When my daughter, Suzanne, was about 9 or 10, Royal was on a panel at the State Capitol for kids who were in student government at their school.  Suzanne got up to ask Royal a question.  She stated her name and Royal asked her if she was "Martha Zoller's daughter."  That can be a loaded question as when you are in the public eye like I am, sometimes people don't say nice things after they answer that question.  Suzanne answered "yes" and then Royal said, "Your mom's a really smart woman."  I will always love him for that.  I am thankful, also, that I had 4 months when I came to Cox Radio and WXKT in 2009 last year to broadcast from WSB Atlanta.  I got to see Royal every morning and I was able to tell him how much he meant to me and Suzanne.

 

Rest in Peace, Dear Royal and I wish for peace for his beautiful family at this unexplainable and difficult time.
