Our condolences to the Marsh family and the Clark County, Nevada Volunteer Fire Department. FireFighter Bob Marsh, 78, a
veteran with the Cal Nev Ari Station 84 Company died Sunday, October 14, 2001. Bob suffered a fatal heart attack about
8:30PM while responding to a report of a motor vehicle accident on US Highway 95 just across the California border. The
small town, 70 miles south of Las Vegas, has an 18 member volunteer department. Marsh was the sole member of
Squad 1-84.
Bob enlisted in the Army shortly after the United States entry into World War II. He fought on the Western Front and was
wounded at the Battle of the Bulge. After the war, he moved to Illinois. He worked as an ambulance driver and a movie
theater projectionist before joining TransAmerica Insurance. He worked for the company for 31 years before retiring to
Southern Nevada.
Services are private, but Bob's brother firefighters are planning a public memorial for early November. Marsh is survived
by his wife, Mary Lou; three sons; three daughters; 13 grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
