Truth, you are so stupid… why must you always play the race card ? did you ever talk to this man ? Ralph was a man of the people…he could care less what color you were.
Ralph,was only concerned about Bermudians..

If we are serious about recognizing National Hero’s, Ralph Marshall is a definite candidate from our Portuguese community, which would clearly show that the Government of the day is committed to a policy of inclusion. My vote is for Ralph to be recognized on our next Hero’s Day.

On a lighter note, how many people remember the extension of Marsh Folly Road – along the old railway tracks running through Pembroke and Devonshire – being labelled “Marshall’s Folly” because Ralph pushed it through while he was the Minister of W&E. He was severely criticized at the time by some, but it proved to be a quantum improvement for traffic getting to Hamilton from the East End.

He educated and supported quite a few Bermudians of all colours and political backgrounds. That’s what this Man has done for the community.

I will always remember Ralf Marshall, he and his wife liked to eat out at IL Palio restaurant ( closed for sometime now ) another couple and ourselves were there at the same time as he was, we said good evening to he and his wife, and when our bill came he had paid for our wine bill…. he always had time to say hello and ask how are you doing , that is my memory of Ralf Marshall.
