Obituary

Marsh passed away early Sunday morning after a courageous battle with cancer.  He will be forever loved and missed by his spouse, best friend and traveling companion Yvonne Del Mastro and his sister Maxine. He is predeceased by his loving wife Marie (1994), and sister Daisy (2016).

He is fondly remembered by his three sons Dave (Janet), Brian (Kim) and Steve (daughter in law Lori Spoltore). He will be missed by the Del Mastro boys Doug, Mike (Sandy), Dean (Kelly), and Jason (Heidi) who adopted Marsh as one of their own.

Marsh had the good fortune of being loved as Grandpa by Jenny, Jessica, Karen, Emily, Charlie, Jamie and Lindsay and Papa Marsh by Brian, Alicia, Charlotte, Reagen and Taylor as well as being Great Papa Marsh to Liam, Isla and Rowan.

Meticulous and detailed as always, Marsh was fortunate enough to be able to play his beloved crosswords, word games and connections to the very end. We should all be so fortunate.

An avid golfer for most of his adult life Marsh spent many years walking the fairways of the Oshawa Golf Club and then later the Lindsay Golf and Country Club.

A celebration of life will be held in Marsh's memory on Sunday June 22, 2025 from 3pm - 6pm at the Pie Eyed Monk Brewery, 8 Cambridge Street North, Lindsay.

In lieu of flowers a donation to the Peterborough Regional Health Care – Cancer Centre would be appreciated.

A heartfelt thank you to the staff of Springdale Country Manor who loved and cared for Marsh. He could not have hoped for a more wonderful group of people in his last few years.
