Col Harley T. "Swampy" Marsh died September 7, 2012 at the age of 95 from complications caused by leukemia. Swampy's military career began at the age of 13 when he was enrolled at Greenbrier Military School in Lewisburg, WV. It was at Greenbrier where he first met his future wife, Helen. Upon graduation from Greenbrier, he entered the US Military Academy in 1937. He graduated West Point in June 1941 and was commissioned a 2nd Lt. in the Infantry. Swampy spent the next 30 years serving his country with pride and distinction earning numerous awards and recognitions. He married Helen Duncan September 19, 1942. Having spent their marriage at numerous posts and bases, his last duty station was Ft. Sam Houston, where he retired from the military in 1971. They had moved into the Bel Meade subdivision in San Antonio in 1968 and became very active in their community and built a large group of close friends. In November 2000, his wife had a stroke and spent the next 3 years at Parklane West Health Care Center under constant care. Swampy showed his undying devotion to his wife during those 3 years by spending every day but 3 visiting his wife at Parklane prior to her death. He was there so frequently that some staff members thought he worked there. Swampy was part of the "Greatest Generation" who went about their daily tasks quietly, without fanfare, without complaining and expecting no thanks or recognition. In his community of Bel Meade he became the "go to" person when something needed to be done. In recognition of the many of years work and service he did for his community, in May 2000, the City Council of San Antonio passed an ordinance naming a Bel Meade greenspace "Swampy Marsh Park". He viewed this as a highlight of his life. Swampy will be dearly missed by his family, friends and all those that knew him. Swampy was preceded in death by his mother, Virginia Cossman Marsh, his father, Harley T. Marsh, Sr., and his wife, Helen Duncan Marsh. He is survived by his son Jeff (Mary) Marsh, daughter Pamela Ann Marsh, grandson James (Kellie) Marsh, granddaughter Kimberly (Richard) Skidmore, and great grandchildren Madelyn Marsh and Coltin Marsh. The family wants to give a special thanks to all the wonderful doctors and nurses who gave him such great care for his prostate cancer and his leukemia. Visitation will be at Sunset Funeral Home, Austin Highway, from 5:00PM to 7PM on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012. Funeral Services will be held at Sunset Funeral Home Chapel on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012 at 9:00A.M. Interment will follow at Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery.

John A. Einreinhofer, 77, a 46-year resident of the Newfoundland section of West Milford Township, N.J., died suddenly on July 10, 2012, in Stockholm, N.J. He had suffered from complications of diabetes and hypertension in recent years. He was born April 1, 1935, in Passaic, N.J., the son of John and Minnie Einreinhofer, who both predeceased him. He is survived by his beloved wife of more than 47 years, Mildred, of Newfoundland, N.J.; his son, John Einreinhofer of South Charleston, formerly of Newfoundland; grandson, John of South Charleston; son, Donald Einreinhofer, formerly of Newfoundland, now of Stockholm, N.J.; daughter-in-law, Johanna; granddaughter, Jane, and granddaughter, Delana, also of Stockholm; brother, Robert Einreinhofer and sister-in-law, Nancy Einreinhofer, of Sparta, N.J.; and nephew, Bobby Einreinhofer of Jefferson Township, N.J.
John grew up in Garfield, N.J., where he starred in track and football, and went on to military school at Greenbrier Military Academy in Lewisburg, where he played football and boxed. He was offered a football scholarship to William and Mary College, but injuries forced him to instead continue his football career at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia. At Hampden-Sydney, he had a 270-plus yard rushing performance with three touchdowns against Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, a performance so impressive that Baltimore Colts scouts in the stands later sent him letters of interest. However, injuries forced him to give up his football playing career and he completed his history degree at Farleigh Dickinson University. He also then served in the United States Army in the 50th Armored Division where he was part of an M-48 tank crew. He began his teaching career at the then-Pope Pius High School in Passaic, N.J., where he met his wife, Mildred, while both were teaching. He then moved on to West Milford Township High School, where he coached track, cross-country and football and taught history for 30 years before his retirement. He was inducted into the Passaic County Coaches Hall of Fame and won multiple Skyline and Northern Hills Conference Coach of the Year awards, and recorded more than 100 wins as head coach in both track and cross-country while head coach. In an inspired performance, his track team won the Northern Hills Conference title in his final season as head coach in 1985. He was cited as a father figure by many he taught and coached. A very honorable person and devoted family man, he will be greatly missed. He enjoyed history, in which he was an expert, reading, hunting, gardening, following football, boxing and, especially, the New York Yankees. He also enjoyed travel to West Virginia and the Jersey Shore.

Visitation will be Friday at Lesko-Stickle Funeral Home in Newfoundland, N.J. The funeral will be held Saturday.
