Edward Kenneth Kennedy 6-12-39 - 1-08-04 On this day, I look back over the years we spent together. I can see us when we met and fell in love, when everything was so new and exciting. I remember some of the difficult times and how we worked our way through them. I smile when I think of all the fun we had and the joy we shared. We were partners in a marriage that was strong and secure because we worked at it and because we never forgot why we married each other in the first place - for love, forever. I love you, Elaine |

He left a legacy of accomplishment admired and acclaimed by many national, state and local aviation interests., Born in Brunswick, Ga., on July 8, 1914, he proudly spoke of being a four-year old who helped sell war savings stamps to help finance WWI. Not until 50 years after the end of WWII was he acknowledged by the Air Force to be a veteran for his services as an officer flying in U.S. Army aircraft.

He was also involved for years as manager and Board Chairman of the Fifes and Drums of York Town., In 1996 Mr. Marlin was granted a permit to operate a bed and breakfast enterprise in his home, known as Marl Inn.

He was capably assisted over the past few years by faithful caregivers Nancy Emery and Rhonda Schell since family members were all located out of state., Mr. Marlin, who never married, was a constant in helping family members through the years, both while manager of Patrick Henry Airport and after moving to Yorktown. He and his sisters lost their father to meningitis in 1915 and he remembered how family in Brunswick and St. Simons Island, Ga., and then a loving stepfather, Howard Barrington Diggs of Relay, Md., helped make a difference in all their lives., He is preceded in death by his mother, Deborah Steuart Marlin Diggs; by both sisters, Deborah Marlin Myers, formally of Williamsburg, Raleigh, N.C., and Yorktown, and Angela Marlin Crown of Zephyrhills, Fla., He is survived by three nieces and two nephews, Deborah Myers Smith of Oxford, Md., William Nelson Myers of Raleigh, N.C., Robert Boyd Myers of Prairie Village, Kan., Jessie Crown Glasure of Freeport, Fla., and Angela Ruth Crown Mc Mickle of Zephyrhills, Fla., In lieu of flowers Mr. Marlin requested that he be remembered through contributions to Grace Historical Church Preservation Foundation (a non-profit), P.O.
