Camouflage Fabric: Ron Marshall

Ron Marshall: A skilled carpenter, he built his own casket using plywood, camouflage fabric and memory foam he purchased at Walmart. The finished project stained a dark walnut, with perfectly mitred corners rivalled anything you could find in a funeral showroom, according to The Star. Marshall, who toiled as he battled lung cancer and emphysema, died last month. He was 54 and NAZARETH, PA. With his health fading and his bank account busted, Ron Marshall started a project that made him a legend in a string of small towns in eastern Pennsylvania. The task became an alternative to his lifelong dream of building his own home. More importantly for Marshall, it allowed him to soften the financial burden his premature death would be for his aging parents. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
