We mourn the passing of Gene Marsh on March 1, 2021. 

Gene was a devoted friend of BVMI and a long-time champion of our mission.  He served in many roles at BVMI, including site selection and project management for our first clinic on Moore Street, member and Vice Chair of BVMI's Board of Trustees, and member of the Advisory Board. 

His wise counsel and cheery demeanor will be sorely missed by all.
