Cloud Randolph “Randy” Marshall, 95, of Macungie, died March 11, 2025, at Cedar Crest Post Acute Care Center in Allentown. He was the beloved husband of Mary Ann “Mame” (Raynock) Marshall and the late Margaret Ann “Bali” (Thebo) Marshall. Born in New York City, he was the son of the late Nelson and Ann (Wines) Marshall.

He was a true 20th-century man. Born on the eve of the Great Depression in 1929 in New Rochelle, N.Y., he enlisted in the Marine Corps at age 17. After completing a tour of duty, he attended the University of Maryland on the GI Bill. He experienced two great love stories in his life: first with Bali Thebo, whom he married in 1954 and with whom he had three children. After Bali lost her long battle with cancer, he found love again and married his cherished Mame (Mary Ann Raynock) in Starnberg, Germany, in 1974.

He built a successful career at Raytheon Corporation, dedicating 30 years to the company. As the international marketing director of its semiconductor division, he embraced the spirit of the “Mad Men” era, always sharp, always charismatic. His career took his family abroad, with homes in Switzerland and Germany, leading to countless adventures across the Alps, Madrid, Paris, Copenhagen, Florence, London and even Yugoslavia. His decision to move his family overseas gave his children experiences that enriched and shaped their lives in ways they would forever treasure.

Over the years, he and Mame called 10 different houses across five states (plus Germany!) “home.” But nothing made them happier than spending time with their grandchildren. They were overjoyed by the arrival of their great-grandchildren who brought even more love and laughter into their lives.

His full name became a source of endless amusement (and mild exasperation) for his children, who spent years convincing teachers “Cloud” was, in fact, his real name not a typo for “Claud.” He carried on a long family tradition, named after his grandfather (1871-1938), who was named after his grandfather (1814-1888), tracing back to his maternal ancestor, Hannah Cloud (1752-1843).

He loved a good party, a long ski run and a round of golf.

He was an active volunteer, serving on the board of the Munich International School and the homeowners association at Legacy Oaks in Macungie.

His adventurous spirit never wavered. At age 90, he piloted a small Cessna for the first time since giving up his pilot’s license in 1962.

Upon hearing of his passing, one of his many nieces shared, “I always loved being in his presence.” There is no better testament to his warm, witty and magnetic personality.

His family is deeply grateful to his sister-in-law, Peggy Raynock, for the love and support she has provided to everyone over the last six months.

He is survived by his wife; daughter, Susan “Maggie” and her husband, Stephen Goldman; sons, Christopher and his wife, Fatemeh and Michael and his husband, Robert Walker; grandchildren, Margaret Ann (Maggie) and Kayvan; great-grandchildren, Everett and Wyatt; sister, Virginia Claydon. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Nelson and Andrew.

A viewing will be held 9-10:15 a.m. March 29 at Bachman, Kulik & Reinsmith Funeral Home, 225 Elm St., Emmaus. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow 11 a.m. at St. Ann’s Catholic Church, Emmaus.
