Marshall Dana, formerly of Millbury, MA, died unexpectedly on August 30th in San Jose, California. In 1965, Marshall received his degree in Mechanical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Marshall relocated to California in 1968 where his family remains. Marshall served his country as Captain in the U.S. Air Force from 1968 to 1972 at Vandenberg Air Force Base. The family then relocated to San Jose where Marshall worked for Westinghouse Electric Company in Sunnyvale.

In 1979, Marshall moved his family to Western Montana where they built a home in Corvallis, MT. Marshall loved “Big Sky” Montana where he enjoyed hunting and fishing with his sons. His son, Jim, particularly, has shared the joy of fishing the lakes and ocean from Oregon to California.
