LEWES - Franklin R. Marsh of went home to be with his loved ones and the Lord on Thursday, March 6, 2014 at Beebe Healthcare in Lewes, DE. He was born on January 4, 1933 in Lewes, DE, son of the late Charles A. and Naomi Johnson Marsh. In addition to his parents he was predeceased by his beloved wife Ann in 1994; two brothers, Willard and Joseph Marsh and his sister Pauline Revel. Mr. Marsh enjoyed farming his entire life and especially working "Ann's Produce Stand "on Angola Road where many of his home grown delicacies were offered. He and his late wife Ann had begun the store many years ago. After Ann's passing he continued the stand with his daughter Louise as a tribute to Ann until his passing. He will also be fondly remembered by many area students as the perfect bus driver, a position he held for 35 years with the Cape Henlopen School District. Tony Stewart was his driver in the NASCAR circuit and watching American Pickers as well as splitting wood were favorite pastimes. However, his most enjoyable moments were when people would stop by to talk and learn from him the history of a lifetime of farming which he shared with his brother Willard (Bill). He is survived by his devoted daughter, Louise Donaway Marsh of Lewes; a sister Joan Baker and husband Charles of Lewes, DE; a sister-in-law, Sandra D. Hoebee and husband Robert of Milton, DE; several nieces and nephews; Patricia and husband Rev.
