John Kenneth Marshall

On Thursday, April 13, 2023, John Kenneth Marshall, loving husband, father of three, grandfather of six passed away at age 73 at Niagara Hospice House, Lockport, NY with family by his side.

John was born on March 24, 1950 to Kenneth and Betty (Burchill) Marshall in North Tonawanda, NY. He married Deborah Gallagher in 1972 and together they raised their two daughters, Tanya Lynn and Shannon Faye and son Justin Gallagher.

John was an avid music lover and a collector of sports memorabilia. He was known for his dry humor, his rare smile, and his kind and compassionate spirit. John had a passion for radio contests and among his winnings was a meet and greet with George Strait in West Virginia and enjoying a Tom Petty concert at Fenway Park in Boston. He also won an ATV and after almost going through the garage wall and then racing into the street to oncoming traffic, Deb rapidly took the keys away.

Everyone knew that if The Twist was playing by Chubby Checker he couldn’t resist dancing. John would often tell those who would listen that he was cheap, but he also would easily say to his wife “whatever you want to do, Honeybunch.”

John was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife,

Deborah, his children Tanya Marshall (Randal ZuWallack) of Williston, VT, Shannon Lanz (James) of Irondequoit, NY and Justin (Jacqueline Porchia) of Williston, VT and grandchildren, Jack, Reid and Cole ZuWallack, Juliana Lanz and Blake and Brody Marshall. John is also survived by his siblings Marlene Bly (Michael), Howard (late Cheryl) Marshall and Jennie (Steve) Sliwinski.

A celebration of the life of this fine man will be held in the future; he will certainly be missed.

John generously donated his body to the University at Buffalo for anatomical education and medical research.

Garden

continued from page 12 preferably 4 feet — high is effective for preventing rabbit damage. Deer, on the other hand, need a much taller fence. Although they can jump 7 feet or higher, a 5-foot-6-inch fence is often enough to keep them out of smaller gardens. Sink fencing 4 to 6 inches into the ground to protect plants from voles.

Repellents labeled for controlling the critter that is causing the damage are another option. Organic Plantskydd (www.plantskydd.com) is labeled for repelling, not harming, all of these critters, so you only need one product. Since it is rain and snow resistant, you won’t need to apply it as often. Always read and

“Miniclover (trifolium repens), is one-third to half the size of white Dutch clover, only grows 4-6 inches and produces a thick, carpet-like look that blends well with turf. Less expensive than grass seed, it’s a natural solution for self-sustaining, low-maintenance lawns that look beautiful and help eliminate the need for fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and weekly mowing. It’s healthier for people, pets, soil and waterways. You can’t go wrong with it.”

ble lawn care looks like. Sales of miniclover rose dramatically last season, surely an indicator that this lawn renovation trend was well-received and continues to grow.

BENEFITS OF MINICLOVER

• Nitrogen fixer. Miniclover takes nitrogen from the air and “fixes” it in soil, eliminating the need to apply nitrogen, keeping lawns green and growing while adding natural nitrogen to surrounding soil.

• Drought tolerant. Miniclover is drought-tolerant and can stay green all summer with minimal watering.

• Deters bugs. Grubs that feed on grass roots will not eat miniclover, and adult beetles and bugs are deterred from laying eggs in it.

• Crowds out weeds. Miniclover is evenly dispersed via stolons (stems grow horizontally along the ground), crowding out weeds, preventing new weeds and controlling erosion.

• Low-to-no maintenance. You can mow miniclover – the more it’s cut, the smaller the leaf size – or let it grow. Miniclover only blooms once in summer, providing bees with nectar.

• Thrives in sun to partial shade. Miniclover does well in partial shade that receives some direct sunshine daily.

• Stands up to soil and subsoil compaction.

• Immune to “dog patches.” Dog urine discolors lawns, but miniclover stays green and lush.

• Feels soft and springy on bare feet and looks like ordered whimsy.
