Biography
OTIS CORNELIUS MARSHALL JR.
1934 1976
OTIS CORNELIUS MARSHALL JR. was born in New York
City on August 8, 1934. Immediately after graduation he
enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. He served in the Marines
until February 9, 1957 at which time he attained the rank
of Sergeant. He was awarded the (1) National Defense Service
Medal (2) Korean Service Medal (3) United Nations Service
Medal (Korean) (4) Good Conduct Medal.
After completing his tour of duty in the service, he worked
for the City of New York in the Sanitation Department.
In April 1965, he left New York City to reside in St. Thomas,
Virgin Islands with his wife, Bernice and his two daughters
Janeel and Clarene. A son Otis III was born a year later.Otis
joined the Police Force in June 1965. He was later promoted
to Sergeant. In July of 1976, he was stricken ill and hospital-
ized until his demise on December 20, 1976, at the Veterans
Hospital in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Though he is gone he'll always be remembered for his humor-
ous ways and soft voice. No matter the place or situation,
Otis would always have something funny to say.
He leaves to mourn his many friends and relatives, including
his wife, Bernice, his two daughters Janeel and Arlene and his
son Otis III. Otis you are gone out of our lives but not out
of our hearts and that is never to die.
