• So sorry
  I just now heard about the passing of Royal, and I am so very sad. I am listening to the tribute right now and tearing up as I listen to Clark Howard and others remembering him. God bless him and his young family who he leaves behind. May his family, friends and fans be comforted at this sad time.

  I know I'm a late comer to this, but you'll have to forgive me, I moved to Washington state where I don't get to hear from y'all. Please convey my condolences for Royal. I am always a big fan of him.

  Neal, I listened to you religiously for many years but due to a new job schedule I wasn't able to. It was only today I learned of Royal's passing and i am truly saddened by such a loss of a great man. My deepest sympathies to his family, Belinda and yourself. In his honor and as he was a military brat, I bestow unto his Memory the Soldier's Prayer. Semper Fi Royal and godspeed to you!

  I don't get to listen to the Boortz show as often as I used to now that I have a daughter and I'm in charge of breakfast. I tuned in this morning for the first time in a while and found out about Royal's passing. I am sad. Just from listening to the show, you could tell that Royal was a great guy and a wonderful influence on other people. I'll miss listening to him. I'm sure the people who knew him will have a hole that can't be filled.

  Folks, the minute you have a kid, buy a term life insurance policy. $30 a month and pre-k through college would have been paid for.

  I have been so sorry for your loss and so sad. I still can't believe he's gone.I had 2 friends pass suddenly in December , one only 29 ,the other 48.The shock adds to the grief.The WSB family and Royal's family are still in my thoughts and prayers.

• Royal Marshall
  Devastating. I've lived in Atlanta for 19 years. My wife and I moved to NH this past July to attend to her dad. He was diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimer's. He is 87, flew a B-27 bomber during WWII, was shot down over Romania and parachuted unconscious into a field after having taken substantial wounds from flak, and was a POW. I love him as much as my own dad.
• I haven't been able to listen to your show Neal, one of the favorite parts of my days in Atlanta was owning my own company and listening to you and Royal bat it back and forth.
• I can't even believe he's gone.
• My deepest sympathies go out to his wife and daughters, you and Belinda.
• That's a hole that will never be filled.
• God Bless!

• The Best of Royal Marshall and Neal Boortz
  I'm 26 years old and have been listening to your talk show since 2006. I remember very well the first time I heard "Boo Got Shot" and my funny bone never fully recovered after that. I was wondering if the might be a way to put together a compilation CD for sale on your website with the best out takes of Neal and Royal. The proceeds could go toward the Royal Marshall fund and the CD would provide hours of entertainment for anyone who made the purchase! We will miss you Royal, may your legacy live on forever.

• Royal's passing
  Due to work schedule I have not been able to listen to Neal's show until today when I heard the melancholy news of Royal's passing. Royal's wit, humor, intelligence, and good cheer made him one of the best loved voices on talk radio. I can imagine that he was a wonderful man in the flesh as well as in voice. My most sincere condolences to his many friends and family.

• Royal's Family
  I was tempted to not post a comment when I saw how many there were already posted, but the Holy Spirit reminded me of how the comments and warm words of others meant so much to me after my father's passing, who was a football coach in a small town. If Royal's girls read my words someday, I never met your father, but he was my friend every time I heard his voice on the radio. He and I shared many opinions and I can't help but feel that we probably had similar experiences because of having such opinions and being black men of similar ages. I hope the two of you strive to live lives worthy of your father's legacy as I also strive to upold my own fathers lagacy. I pray that I shall meet and recognize you one day as the young ladies your dad hoped that you would be.

• Part of my family
  Having listened to the Boortz show for many years I have to say that Royal has been like part of my family. I met him once and he seemed like a genuinely nice person and there will be a void when I listen to Neal's show from hereon in. Thanks Royal for being real and being such a great friend to Neal and Belinda...

• Royal
  It's very odd to have my eyes fill with tears for a man I've never met. Royal's obvious intelligence, sense of humor, and richness of character came clearly through every broadcast. I am so sorry for his family and those who worked with him, his extended family, for I know this loss cuts hard and deep. May God comfort you. Royal, we'll miss you terribly.

  I am a long time listener and follower of Neal Boortz as was my father before his passing. I love Neal, Belinda and Royal together....you could feel the love they had for each other and how much they enjoyed working together..they were a terrific team. I will continue to listen to Neal of course, but will daily think about Royal. My thoughts and prayers are will the Marshall family, Neal and Belinda and the team at WSB Radio!

  I'm a moderate and don't listen to your show too much, but my brother-in-law just told me about Royal's passing today. When I did listen, I enjoyed his presence there, as well as his show, Royal Treatment. My heart and prayers go out to his family and his radio "family". He will be greatly missed.

• The loss of Royal Marshall...
  I have no words that can express my sorrow for your radio show family's loss at this time. I do know a bit about the grief, as I lost my precious Mother in June of last year, but mere words rarely soothe the pain of the heart during this time. I do have a passage I would like to share if I might, that did put a smile on my face, and I hope it will take away the pain and give you all a moment of peace in this turmoil you are feeling....
• I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
• Then someone at my side says:
• "There, she is gone!"
• "Gone where?"
• Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
• Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: 
• "There, she is gone!" 
• ...there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout:
• 'Here she comes!"

  I had the pleasure of meeting Royal a couple of years ago. He had a unique "spark" that made one take notice. My heart aches for his family and little girls. Hopefully one day they can find some comfort in knowing how respected and loved their father was. He will be missed.

• Royal Marshall
  On my way to work this morning, I caught just a few words about how Royal would be missed. I had no idea what happened and got to work today to see what I could find. I am soo sorry for the loss of Royal. I've listed to Neal's show since I was a child. Although I never had the opportunity to meet Neil, Belinda or Marshall, I feel like I have lost a friend. Someone that I could hear every morning and that would ultimately bring a smile to my face. 
• Royal, you will be missed and I hold your family, friends and audience in my heart right now.

  I emailed you with my condolences, Neal, the day this happened; I listened all that day to the wonderful things the WSB family were saying, and my heart truly hurt, and I have to admit I cried. It still hurts, and my love goes out to you, Belinda, and Royal's wife and children. I've listened to you for so long I feel like I know each of you personally. You are doing a great service to Royal by setting up the trust fund for his childen, and I know he appreciates this gesture. I loved Royal and I love you, Neal. ( Oh, and this coming from a conspicuously tattooed female conservative, and I'm not a slut, heehee )!

  It is with a heavy heart that I write these words. I have not been able to listen to the show for some time due to a work schedule and inability to get the station so I did not know until today of Royal's passing. I am deeply saddened by this loss. He was a wonderful presence on the radio. Neal, Belinda, Annette and the girls are all in my prayers.

• Royal - you are deepest missed
  My husband and I often listen to the Boortz show over the years. Once I met Neal and Belinda at the Wolf Camera event years ago and asked "where's Royal?" and Neal answered "Royal is in the back," so I missed meeting an icon, but even though I didn't get to meet him in person, he had always had a wonderful vivacious personality on the radio. Condolences to family and friends. One day we will meet again in heaven.

• Royal
  Though I seldom agreed with Royal, because he was liberal; however, I respected him, because he argued the points of an issue, without getting personal, like so many liberals do. He will be missed, dearly, because it helped to make a point when there was someone there to argue the other side! He was a family man and I respect him most of all for that! Life will go on, and Royal will continue to touch our lives in many ways, since he engraved his presents in our hearts and minds! Neal and Belinda, I hope you find comfort in the fact that you had the privilege of knowing the man, personally, while we only knew the voice that came through the radio! So, do as Royal would want - carry on and live your lives to the fullest and know that he has his arm around you, every time you trip over an obstacle in life! An unselfish man, like Royal, would not want you to be full of sorrow and suffer from his loss! Royal, I hope you are enjoying those beaches, in between talking to the masses on the big radio!

  I am heartily saddened by the loss of Royal. I always enjoyed when he would thunder back in disagreement with Neal.

Gods Speed Sir, you deserve it....

• Gone too soon.....
  I was shocked to be driving down I-10 last night to hear Neal talking about the memorial trust fund. I was like "OMG what for?" and as the show progressed I put the pieces together. I cannot believe that the voice of quiet dignity that would comment along with the show at times was gone. My heart and prayers go out to his family and friends. May the Lord watch over you all.

  This is very sad news to move back to Atlanta to. This is surreal. Gone too soon. I so prominently remember Royal's voice so much, it's usually the voice in my mind whenever I'm reading a black character's dialogue in a comic book. I was fortunate enough to have met him at Neal Boortz's book signing, along with Belinda. All three signed my copy of Somebody's Gotta Say It. You will be missed, Royal. Thank you very much for all that you did.

  Listening to Neal today and found out about the sudden passing of Royal - what a tragedy. Most of my friends who know that I listen to talk radio are amazed that I enjoy listening to Neal, Belinda, and Royal during the week for almost 4 years now. I must say that Neal's show has inspired me to think for myself as it relates to government issues.
• My heart goes out to his wife and young daughters. Even though I never had the pleasure of meeting Royal, listening to the show made you feel like you were part of a family. I can only hope that my legacy will be as rich as the heartfelt condolences spoken about him. May GOD grant his family peace during this transition.

• Remembering Royal Marshall
  This week as I have cried through each broadcast of the Neal Boortz show, I have come to the understanding that we sometimes don't realize our connection with someone or just how much someone means to us until they are gone. I can't count the number of times that I have listened to Neal and waited to hear a response from Royal or thought to myself, "I wonder how Royal feels about that." My limited vocabulary can't begin to describe how much I will miss him each weekday morning. But, as the quote on his desk stated, it is my faith in the Lord that enables me to move forward through this and every moment of sorrow. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Marshall family as well as the Neal Boortz show and the WSB family.

  May God Bless you Annette, Amira and Ava, you are in your prayers. Your husband and father touched many people that you will never know with is sense of humor and intellect! I moved from Atlanta 1 year and a 1/2 ago and do not have the opportunity to listen much anymore here in Savannah and miss the show greatly. After receiving the email from WSB today it broke my heart to hear of Royal passing away!!! I remember when Amira and Ava were born and how proud of his little girls he was, you could here it on the air! Royal I am still mad they took your show away "The Royal Treatment"! Thank you for all the great years and being our voice to shut Neal up every once in a while and for that we could never repay you! Neal and Melinda you have lost a special freind and I can only hope you can find the strength to go on, for Royal and for all of us!
• God Bless you Royal and I will see you on the otherside!

• Royal - Book by it's cover
  I called Royal's show a couple of times before I called Neal's. When I got up the nerve to call Neal -he made a remark about my name and it was Royal who told him I wasn’t a screaming liberal with a black power sign' hanging around my neck. Thank you Royal.
• In my father's last days he told me I should look at death as God's way of saying “I want you here with me in heaven you can do greater things from here” or “it's time for you to come home”. If the deceased passing leaves us heartbroken – chances are they led a good life. Their passing should inspire us to do better and be better. Royal, I'm inspired.

• Royal Marshall
  I have listented to Neal since day one and to Royal almost as long. I am often left to wonder at the passing of someone as Royal, who was such an intelligent, loyal, a good father and husband, who could have done such great things with his life. Why does death seem to take the "good people"? Death takes the "bad" people as well, we just don't hear about it as much, except on the news, because we are so blessed to know, associate and live among the good people, such as Royal.
• Royal will be missed, Jimmie Wiggins

  If Royal Marshall was half the producer, half the co-worker, half the man that Neal and Belinda made him out to be on the show (and from every indication, he was), then he was one of the finest men to walk the face of this earth.

  As everyday creeps by it becomes more apparent the impact Royal made on both the show and Atlanta itself. I can only see this now by recognizing that very subtle yet substantial element Royal contributed to the show is no longer there. I can see now that I'm not alone. As I read the comments below I see that Royal had this inherent ability to touch so many with such little effort. The simple fact that not only Atlanta but the better parts of other cities emotional shut down in response to this news is truly a testament to this mans character. I'm confident in saying that the humility and candor of Royal's character will stand as monument for us all to recognize as we move forward without one of Atlanta's greatest citizens. Royal you are loved and you will be missed.

• The Passing of Royal Marshall
  I have been hit hard by the news of the passing of Royal Marshall. Hea was a staple of morning entertainment and news along with a sharp wit and uncanny ability to remark on a variety of subjects and will be missed greatly. I enjoyed listening to him take remarks from you and sharpen them up to make them more enjoyable for all to hear. I live in the Great Smoky mountains and no one in this area or beyond will be able to forget this man of extreme honor and and abilities. He will be missed greatly.

  I could not believe what I was hearing during Neal's show on Monday. Though I've never met anyone on his show I feel like I know them all. The passing of Mr. Royal Marshall instantly brought tears to my eyes and down my face. I believe it is more than obvious that Royal will be missed by everyone. Prayers are lifted for his wife, daughters and all of his extended radio family. We should thank God for allowing all of us to "know" Royal for as long as we did.

  I used to listen to Neal Boortz in the morning on my way to work and loved the bantering among Royal, Belinda, and Neal. I hated it when we had to move out of state, but I listened to the show as often as I could. What a shock when I went to the WSB website and saw the story of Royal's passing. I felt like I was in the twilight zone and that I must have read it wrong. My condolences to his family at home and to his family at WSB.

  I was stunned when I received a tweet from Jamie Dupree announcing Royal's passing. I just started following the show this year and have come to appreciate the sense of family and friendship among the show staff and listeners. God Bless to all.

  Royal Marshall was the cherry on top of the sundae of the Neal Boortz show. I'll miss him, even if I never actually met him.

  My heart hurt when I learned about Royal's death. I have been listening to the Boortz show for several years and I feel like I know all of you. So, despite the fact that I have never met Royal, I felt like I had lost a close friend and felt my eyes tear up. I will miss his charm and wit. My thoughts and prayers are with Royal's family and friends.

• Royal Marshalls Passing
  I too am saddened by his untimely death...while never easy and the hurt is so deep...as so many others have said better than I he is with the angels now, looking down on those whom he loved dearly...smiling and knowing that God will take care of them...as for Neal, Belinda and Christa, this where you hold yourselves together to see to it that the show you four created continues to thrive all be it on 'three' wheels, the fourth will come...and the Lord will sustain you all...

• Unbelievable...
  I've only listened to Mr. Boortz for the past two years now and found Royal's personality and timely input both refreshing and learned. To hear of his passing was mindblowing to say the least...but for his wife and two very young daughters...my heart goes out to his entire family. It's so sad to know that a man of character, devotion to both his family and church, as well as his listening audience, has passed at such an early age. God took a good one away from us for there is no doubt.

• Shock and Awe
  Shocked at Royal's all too soon passing. Awe at the amazing outpouring of emotion... for a radio talk show producer! For those of us who knew him, either personally or mearly from the airwaves, we get it. For those who didn't, you wouldn't understand. Royal was the perfect counterweight to Neal. Remember, "Mighty Whitie and Melonin Man"? I'll second it here. "Just Damn". Godspeed, Royal. Reast assured, your loved ones will be taken care of. You have a big family. Love You Long Time.

• Royal's passing
  I was in total shock when I heard Sean Hannity talk about Royal's passing last night on his show. In disbelief, I told my 13 year old son, and together we hugged one another and werejust overwhelmed with grief. How can this happen to one so healthy and young? Listening to Neal's program today and all his tributes made us both tear up and wish there was something we could do. I am so glad that a trust is being set up for his little girls. I can't wait to donate. I'll never forget the "Boo Got Shot" audio clips and his wonderful show he had of his own. I was saddened when it was canceled. God bless his wife and children...

• Royal's untimely passing
  I have been in NY for the last 2 months because my Dad is ill, and have missed the Boortz show greatly while here. I heard of Royal's passing yesterday, and I sat down and cried. I of course didn't personally know Royal, but sure felt like I had. I listened to him chime in on Boortz all of the time, and when the Royal Treatment was on air. I came to know Royal and came to love him and his wonderful personality.
• I can't tell you how sad I am for his wife and two little girls, as well as the entire crew at WSB Radio. I know Royal will be sorely missed and there will be a large void in all of your hearts. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I'm truly sorry for your loss :o(

• Royal
  Although I never met him, I came to feel like he was a friend to me and so many others. The guy you knew you could count on no matter the situation. I always felt that Royal would take over the microphone from Neal someday and grow the audience to levels previously unattainable. Keep the faith and don't ever forget those who make an impact on your life. God Bless Royal, Annette, Amira, Ava and the WSB family.

• Deeply Saddened
  I felt the air go out of me and tears start to fall this morning on my commute when I heard Neal share the news of Royal's passing. I never had the privilege of meeting Royal in person, but his character, Christian faith and devotion to his family was readily apparent. I have listened to the show for over 10 years and across three states and look forward to starting my workdays with the show. It is obvious that Neal, Belinda, Christina and Royal are a family and not simply co-workers. I will miss his infectious laugh and the special spark Royal brought to the show. There are no words of comfort enough for Royal's wife and daughters, and my heart breaks for your loss. May you find some peace in the outpouring of love and support for your family and the honoring of Royal's memory. My prayers go out to all of you as you mourn Royal's passing and celebrate his life and legacy. The sudden loss of Royal reminds us all of how fleeting our time on earth truly is, and I will go home tonight and hug my husband and children just a little bit tighter. Peace and blessings to you all in this time of sorrow.

  When I read the comment by Jay (1/18/11)I realized just how totally insensitive some people can be. That said, It is a big world and we all share it, and our opinions, with all kinds of people. As Neal has demonstrated time and time again he is not adverce to allowing others to present their individual opinions regardless of how dispicable they are. As regards free speech - There is a reason it is included in the FIRST amendment. The sharing of ideas, concepts and opinions is the very foundation of our liberty. As for myself, I'd love to spend five minuets sharing my opinion with Jay.

• You will be missed.
  I've never met Royal, and have never called into the show however he was always there with Neal and Belinda to greet me on the way to work and when I went back to college this past year. As my life changed dramatically when I left college to join the Army, Neal, Royal and Belinda were there and followed me to my station in North Carolina. Whether you all knew it or not it brought so much peace being hours away from home I was able to bring a little of it with me. I was disappointed when I turned on the radio in Afghanistan and the team wasn't there to greet me. When I heard yesterday of Royal's passing from my girlfriend I almost cried. I've never even met the man however he he was there to greet me with that friendly voice every morning. I know someday when I reach the end of my race I'll finally get to shake hands with the man I never knew. My prayers are with his family and the Boortz team.

  Though I don't get to listen to the show over here, I read Neals Nuze everyday, and was sad to learn about Royal. I remember in 2001 calling and talking to him a few times as I listened to his radio show at night. I even got him to sign the Fair Tax book when you both were on book tour in Atlanta. Let us know if the soldiers or civilians serving over here can help in any way. God Bless Royal Marshall, and may peace be with you.

  Royal was the real deal, and I enjoyed listening to him, especially when he played the parent role and tried to keep Neal between the lines when he started going off on a tangent. It was a great team that we all benefited from, and will continue to cherish. See you one day, Royal.

  The entire WSB family is in my prayers.I can relate to Annette and her precious little girls. I lost my husband at 35 years of age, and I too had 2 little girs. By the Grace of GOD,and with the help of a close family and good friends, my girls grew up to be fine, responsible adults. I wish I knew the words to make you feel better. Keep the faith, and somehow it will get better. You and your daughters will definitely be in my prayers.

• A special voice silenced way too soon...
  Although I never met Royal in person I felt like he was a somehow part of my life since I first heard him parrying with Neal in his first days on-air. Over eight moves later to different states and still I could hear is voice and wit and intelligence no matter where I lived. I have to say that back when Neal was trying to find Royal dates I had a bit of a crush on him. How wonderful that he found happiness with his wife and children - the world's loss is heaven's gain. Royal - you leave a lasting legacy,,, go with God and be an angel.

  I've been away and just heard about Royal leaving us all too soon. It seems so unreal! I always enjoyed - and counted on - Royal's witty, introspective and sometimes hilarious comments. He added so much to the show and will be missed by us listeners. I can only imagine how terribly sad you all must feel.
• I think we can all agree that he is at home with the Lord and that our loss is truly heaven's gain. As long as we remember him, Royal will never really be gone.

  Royal was so aptly named....it is ironic, as I write this down on the day we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, that Royal was the epitome of Dr. King's idealism and emulated the words of The Dream. Like Neal,I am a white guy...we have all lost a true brother....who transcended race and inspired us all. May Royal's life and our memories give rise to his spirit of healing and making this a better world in which to live. God bless you, Royal, as you blessed us with your presence. And God bless Annette and Amira and Ava.

• His Wife and daughters,
• His relatives, 
• His church family, and,
• His Boortz and WSB families.
• The Boortz team was my introduction to Conservative talk Radio, and to a large part, Conservative thought. The gratitude I feel for the entire Boortz team defies words. Royal Marshall is a irreplaceable part of that team.
• I have dreamed of meeting "the team", for quite a while. Perhaps some day, I will still be blessed to meet Neal, Belinda, Christina, the "Web Wench" and the rest. Sadly, any chance of meeting Royal in this life, has escaped me. Perhaps I will be further blessed to meet him, in the hereafter.

  I have been an avid listener to the Neal Bortz show for many years and have grown accustom to hearing Royal's voice almost daily. Although I never met him, it was easy to sense he was a good man and a good soul. This sad news was very similar to when we heard of the loss of Paul Harvey almost two years ago. I feel as though I have lost a dear friend and will truly miss Royal's comments, humor, and wisdom so very much. Thank you Royal for all you gave and may God Bless your soul for all eternity.

  I was shocked and saddened to hear the news this morning. I never met Royal but not only did I always like him but I felt like I knew him. He always made me laugh. I looked forward to hearing his input on all subjects. My condolences to his family: His wife and daughters, His Neal Boortz Show family, as well as his family of listeners. He will be greatly missed but always remembered in the highest regard.

• Farewell
  I was deeply saddened and shocked on Saturday when I heard via text from my friend who is an employee of WSB of Royal's death. I am a longtime listener of the show and spent 12 years of my life living in the Atlanta metro area. I am now living in Columbus, OH and can still listen to WSB at night on radio up here. The signal is so strong. Anyhow, my heart goes out to his family and the WSB family as WSB had been and still is a part of my life even though I am more than 500 miles away from the Atlanta metro area. Thank you for the memories Royal! Peace.

  Dear Lord, watch over the Marshall family and may his daughters always know what a wonderful and beloved man their father was. Royal you were always the perfect ballast to Neal's bombast. You will be missed by us all. Heaven is an even more blessed place tonight because you are there. I will miss you and will continue to remember your wife and daughters in my prayers. Thanks Royal, you made me smile.

• Royal
  Since I feel such a loss, I can only imagine the hole that Royal leaves among his friends and family. He was... no, I will say, "is," smart, funny, kind, warm. And he let us see a piece of his personal life: single, family, kids. I will miss him a great deal and all I ever heard was his voice on the radio. But I have a feeling that we really did know Royal because he just seemed like "a man without guile." And I don't think you can pull that off for 14 years in the information age. I am so sorry for his family and those of you on the show. I had the privilege of hearing him, but you had the privilege of knowing him. God's peace to you. You all will be in my prayers.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO NEAL AND BELINDA AND THE WHOLE WSB TEAM THAT MAKES THE TRAIN WHISTLE!! WITHOUT ROYAL I'M JUST AT A LOST FOR WORDS FOR A MAN I NEVER MET BUT JUST FROM LISTENING TO HIS VOICE I FEEL LIKE I KNEW HIM PERSONALLY AND HE WOULD GO DOWN IN THE RADIO HALL OF FAME AS A POWERFUL FORCE JUST FROM THE ASSUREDNESS OF HIS VOICE,AMAZING!!!

  I was fortunate enough to meet Royal just once, because I always wanted to know what he looked like after listening to him for many years. He was just as polite in person as his radio personality. His interpretation of Boo Got Shot was genius in the making. I stopped and cried when I heard the sad news of his passing. Neal will now think twice when he looks through the glass and does not see Royal on the other side. I still can't believe he's gone and will miss him very much. Condolences go out to all his family and friends.

  I remember Royal tended to be Neals 'voice of reason',or the one who always kept him out of "legal" trouble. It was always so funny to hear Neal ask Royal if he could say the next sentence or pharse trying to avoid any legal trouble. I sit here and smile remembering Royal's laugh. He has left a mark in all of us.May our precious Lord and Saviour bless his family abundantly in every desire and need they have. You are just as much a part of our lives as he was and will always be. God Bless You.

• A Poem to those who loved Royal
  When I got in my car Saturday morning and heard the terrible news of Royal's death, my heart broke and I cried nearly the entire way to my sister's house (a widow herself who just lost her husband, 47, suddenly). We sometimes question why God would take a good man, one who has given so much to the community, to his family; and lived life to the fullest. This poem, I hope, will give his wife and friends and loved ones strength as it has our family from such a sudden loss.
• You can shed tears that he is gone,
• or you can smile because he has lived.
• You can close your eyes and pray that he’ll come back,
• or you can open your eyes and see all he’s left.
• Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him,
• or you can be full of the love you shared.
• "You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
• or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
• You can remember him only that he is gone,
• or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
• You can cry and close your mind,
• be empty and turn your back.
• Or you can do what he’d want:
• Smile, Open your eyes, Love and Go On."
• Rest in Peace, Royal. Fly with the Angels!!!

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and his family. May the Lord bless and keep all those whom Mr. Marshall called family and friend, and give you peace and strength to bear the coming days.

• R. Royal Marshall
  I could not believe what I was hearing on the radio this morning. I've been trying to search for the right words to post, something to express my sorrow for this loss. Like 5 million or so other listeners, I felt like I "knew" Neal, Royal, Belinda. Their on air exchanges belied a deeper friendship off air. You could tell this was a class act, that there was a real connection between them. 
• I hope this doesn't end the show as Neal is in a league by himself. I enjoy him for lots of reasons but mainly because he keeps Rush and Cutie-pie honest. Royal kept Neal honest.
• My prayers to Royal's family in this sad hour. I hope that they will always remember what an outstanding husband, father, friend he was. To Neal, Belinda and everyone who worked with him, my deepest condolences. I am grateful that I got to know, even if only on air, a wonderful, loving man who wasn't afraid to speak his mind in the Church of The Painful Truth. Ironically, I thought one day he'd take over for Neal..in the distant future.
• God Bless.

  Royal took a show that was about Neil talking about his stuff, and brought it a level of a family discussion of sorts. His role in the show gave it dimension and a warm dry humor. Royal's passing is a truly sad event. For the fans of his show it is vacancy of a person who made your day better and happier. For his family words cannot express the sadness I feel for them. Know that an entire extended family has you in their prayers.

He also died suddenly from an undetectable heart issue. May God be with all of those families in their loss. Two awesome people taken. We pray for those left behind to grieve and carry on their lives.

I drive a delivery van, so I had the pleasure of listening to long portions of the Neal Boortz show in the morning. I can't tell you how many times the good-natured back and forth arguing between Royal and Neal would make me laugh and cheer me up when I was having a bad day. My morning work days won't be the same. My heart-felt prayers go out to his wife and daughters and all the people who had the honor of knowing Royal personally. I've lost a good friend I never met. Thank you Royal, for making my life better.

• Royal
  I was absolutely devastated to learn of Royal’s untimely passing. Royal was a gentleman whom I never met but one I would be honored to have as a son, a brother, a husband, a father, an uncle; I always thought of Royal as a friend. I listened to the Royal Treatment and always enjoyed Royal’s contributions to Neal’s show, often wishing that Royal had his own show, but his commitment to his wife and family were foremost in his heart. To Annette, my heartfelt sympathy; to daughters Ava and Amira, you had a truly wonderful man as a father and our hope is that you read our messages later and get a sense of how great a loss it was to not only your family but to his radio family as well. For Neal and Belinda, you will go on because Royal would want it that way and my deepest sympathy to you both. We will miss Royal on the show, but we will always and forever remember Royal. I can see him now, arriving in Heaven, saying his immortal, “Damn. Just damn!” We’ll always have Royal watching over us. He is truly an inspiration to us all.

• Royal's Passing
  I was so saddened to hear about Royal's passing. I looked forward to listen to Royal, Belinda and Neal every day. Royal was a character, humorous and such a good man. We will all miss his humor on the Morning Show. He gave us lots to smile about. I will pray for his wife, two small girls. I will smile when I think of how Royal touched so many listeners on the Radio. God Bless Royal Marshall.

  Dear Marshall family, Neal,& Belinda
• We heard the sad news this morning. My children and I were very sad and prayed for you all. I even called my husband at work who was shocked and sad at the news also. I was never lucky enough to meet him in person but will truly miss his input and most of all, his wonderful laugh. I'm afraid Neal will never be able to find someone to fill his shoes. Please know that his light is now a heavenly star and God gets to laugh.
• With much sympathy and love to you all!

  I think the outpouring of love, respect and fond memories should encourage us all to learn the example that Royal set. We can all talk, listen and even disagree all the while remembering that we are all family in a larger sense. To his girls, I am so sorry you will not get to know your daddy the way most of us get to, but he was loved by many and he and your mother both love you so much that his spirit will always be in your smiles and in the love you felt from him while he was here. Annette, I am sorry you have to travel the next part of your journey without Royal, but I know that you have an appreciation for the time you had with Royal and would not trade that for anything. Neal, Belinda and the rest of the WSB radio family I can hear the sorrow in your voices but I know you have joy in your hearts and have been forever blessed having known this wonderful man. I have you all in my thoughts and prayers!

  So shocked and saddened to hear about Royal's passing. The first thing that came to mind remembering him was his sense of humor and my favorite, his "Boo Got Shot" translation. A saying I have always remembered came to mind:
• Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that's how I'll remember you all.
• If you can only remember me with tears, don't remember me at all....
• Seemed fitting...RIP!

• Royal Marshall
  On the way home from work this past Saturday, I turn on my WSB-750 and I heard Neal choked up while speaking on the radio. What is happening? The next moment I learned the news of Royal had just passed away. "Just Damn". Tears rolled down my cheek as I rolled down the highway. My heart sunk. I feel like I lost a close friend, a family member that I grew up with all of these years. That evening I went to church and pray for Royal, his wife,kids, Neal, Belinda along with the WSB-750 family. After mass, the church bell rang and I said to myself that today heaven welcome home a new angel,his name is Royal, who has just earned his wing. God bless you Royal, your family and friends. Please pray for us when you are home. Thanks for your time spent here with us.

  In the words of John Donne, and as Royal could well have said, "Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

  I first learned of Neal and Royal when I lived in Atlanta in the late 90's. They have been a part of my daily life ever since. The shock this AM when turning to Neal's News was devastating. My thought and prayers are with Neal radio family - Neal, Belinda, et al. and especially with his wife and children. Please know that what I could tell from the airwaves, he was a great man.

  Neal, Belinda and fellow listeners. I missed Neal's show today and just heard of Royal's death on Hannity's show. What a tragedy, only 43 years old. I feel silly sitting her with tears in my eyes over a man I never met, but I guess that's the effect Royal's down-to-earth sensibility had on people. He was a friend to us all. I morn for his family and friends. God Bless you Royal.

  Aside from the issues of the day being discussed on the show, I truly enjoyed the walk down memory lane of Royal and Neal growing up as "brats". I, too, was a brat so the stories were fun and warming. Royal seemed to be defined in part by this upbringing. May his girls know that he had a full life and that one day, they will see him again. My sympathy to you and yours.

  To Royal's family, Neal, Belinda, and everyone else:
• I did not hear about this until late in the day. Very sad news. 
• I'm not into traditional prayer, but as Neal would put it, I'll send some thoughts to the Cosmic Engineer.
• Gonna miss you, Royal. Never met you, but you were a good man.

• Royal Marshall
  I was deeply saddened Saturday 1/15/11 to hear the news flash of Royal's passing. I never have met any of you personally but feel like I know you through the radio. I cried when I heard the news cast. My first thoughts were of his two daughters & wife. I knew from the radio that they were the center of his world. I was very happy to learn that he was a christian man and very involved with his church. He is already walking the streets of gold. My heart goes out to his children and wife along with Neal & Belinda. I know you will probably never be the same or will I. May God pour out his love and comfort to all of you in the days ahead.
• Sincerely,

  Still can't believe he's gone. Most sincere sympathy to his family and work colleagues. He touched a lot of people and to say he will be sorely missed is an understatement. Just damn.

  I cannot believe that someone so funny, so full of life and energy, is gone. It is a terrible loss to us, but to his family, I can only imagine the suffering and grief they are experiencing now.
• I know that Katy Perry is an insipid celebutard to most people... but there's a song called "Firework" that has some appropriate lyrics, given what a shining light Royal Marshall was.
• Baby, you're a firework
• Come on, show 'em what you're worth
• Leave them goin', "Oh, oh, oh"
• As you shoot across the sky
• Baby, you're a firework
• Come on, let your colors burst
• Make them go, "Oh, oh, oh"
• You're gonna leave them falling down
• May God hold you in the palm of His hand, Royal.

• Warmest Condolences
  Its funny that I feel like I have shaken his hand before. I know I saw him with Neal several times. I am almost certain I did actually speak with him at a book signing, but it's funny that I feel like I knew him and loved him, even though I can't remember if we actually shook hands. Too many found memories of such a wonderful man as he would put his spin on a subject. 
• His family and the WSB crew will all be in our prayers for some time to pray for the continued healing that will take some time.
• *Loved the comment about keep God chuckling... so true.

  I have listened to the show for 15 years. You never think that someone like Royal may never be there again. He was like a friend, just as Neal and Belinda. I am saddened by his passing and I will pray for his soul. his wife and his little girls. 
• The world is a little sadder today without his wit. The world is less bright today without his insight. We have all lost a Great American.

  Fortunate for the listeners, we feel a closeness to certain radio personalities. For a few hours each day, they are a part of our lives. Most of us did not KNOW Royal, but for years we have felt as if he was a friend. From his crazy single days, to his marriage, to the birth of his beautiful girls, we were there. He will be missed, but I KNOW where he is, and I KNOW he was here to bring love, laughter, and a part of his life, to all of us. We all have very special people that pass through our lives. There is a reason for Royals beautiful life, and his untimely death. How fortunate I feel to have been able to experience Royal Marshall, if only through the airwaves. Thanks Royal, keep the booth warm.

• The best time I ever had listening to Neal and Royal...
  was about 4-6 years ago when they took a call from a man(?) named "Gabriel". Gabriel was preaching "inhumane wages" and a buncha other nonsense and Neal, with Royal laughing all the way, verbally tore the man to shreds! It was such a good, funny call, that they re-played it again the next day so all who missed it the first day could hear it.

  My thoughts and prayers go out to Royal's daughters, his wife, Neal, Belinda and all of those who were lucky enough to have Royal in their lives. I was shocked to hear the news of his passing this morning. Hard to imagine we won't ever hear his sharp and clever insights again. The world has lost a great man and will be emptier in his absence. Rest in peace, Royal. You will be missed.

  I was deeply saddened to hear of Royal's passing. He brought balance to Neal. Listening to the show, you could just tell the affection that Neal, Royal and Belinda had for each other. I loved Royal's translation of "Boo Got Shot" and because I Royal, I got Travis Tritt's "Modern Day Bonnie & Clyde" when that became his favorite bumper music a few years ago. 
• I wish Royal's family, Annette, Amria and Ava and Royal's WSB family my condolences and prayers.

  Amira and Ava, when you are older and read all these notes one day may they remind you that your Dad was respected and honored by many. Thanks to you and your Mom for sharing a part of him with us. He was a very special man.

• Sad Day in Atlanta
  As I tuned into the Neal Boortz show today, I heard the announcer talking about how Atlanta lost a jewel. I was thinking they were talking about MLK, until they broke for a commercial and it was Royal. My heart goes out to Royal's wife and daughters.
• I know this is a very difficult time for the Marshall family. Roy will be missed.
• God bless.

  So unbelievably sad. I was literally stunned this morning when I read the news. I feel like I lost a friend though I never met the man. May his wife and children and the Boortz team find some comfort knowing how many people enjoyed and were touched by what Royal said and did on the radio and in his personal life.
• GOD BLESS ALL OF THEM.

• Remembering Royal Marshall
  It was so shocking to hear the news on the radio this morning. My heart breaks for his wife and daughters, his friends and family, and of course Belinda and Neal.
• I've listened to the show for quite a few years, along with a couple of others. What always struck me is what a team Royal and Belinda and Neal are, much more than any other radio show. Royal's contributions were always humorous and insightful. And what a delightful voice and genuine laugh. He seemed to be our voice in the studio, bringing Neal back to reality when necessary and making him seem a bit more human. I'd actually think of him when I downloaded new apps, wishing I could email him and ask which apps are the best. That may sound like a silly memory, but the fact that even when he wasn't on the air people thought of him? The loss must be so much more for those of you who did actually know him.
• I can't imagine the show without him, but more importantly I am so very sorry for his wife and daughters. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

• I started listening to Neal and Royal go at it back in 2000. I used to listen to the "Royal Treatment Show" back in the evenings before Sean Hannity showed up and ruined everything! I will absolutely miss Royal's sense of humor and his very cool personality.
• God took a good one from us, folks. And way too soon.

  It was shock that I turned on my radio today and listed to Neal break the news of Royal's passing. I started listening to Neal about three years ago, and enjoyed the trio of Neal, Belinda and Royal. Royal was so quick and funny, and not afraid to cross Neal! It breaks my heart to think of listening to my radio and not hearing Royal's voice.
• My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to his wife, two young girls, Neal and Belinda and everyone at the station.
• Even though his loss here is great, heaven gained a wonderful angel.

  While I can't get the NB show out here, I've been following for years on this blog, and Royal was constantly mentioned in many of Neal's commentaries, and was genuinely felt by this reader that Royal was a man of integrity and was loved by Neal along with the rest of the staff. My heartfelt prayers go out to this wonderful man's family and friends, as well as Neals' family at the Boortz Show...

  I've been a daily listener of the Neal Boortz Show for about 10 years. Although I never met Royal personally, I flet as though I knew him because he was a part of my mornings. The news of his passing hit me like I had lost a good friend and indeed he was a good friend. I cannot imagine the the whole left in the hearts of Annette, Neal and Belinda. My prayers abd sincere thoughts go out to Royal family (including his WSB family). I will certainly miss him.

• Such a Loss
  Condolences to everyone at WSB, Royal's family and friends and everyone who listens to the Neal Boortz Show. We've all lost a big-hearted, quick-witted and very talented man. Our paths only crossed a few times, but each time I came away knowing that he was a man with a heart as big as the sky, and he loved sharing that heart with everyone. It's ironic that it was his heart that took him from us. He leaves a little piece of his heart inside every one of us. Peace, Royal, and just damn...

• Royal
  There seems to be a common theme today.
• Due to local station managers removing the Boortz show in favor of other programming, and very strict web filtering at my place of employment, I have not been able to listen for some time but I always try to take time to read Neal's notes. When I read today's notes my jaw dropped in disbelief and began to tear up.
• My thoughts and prayers will most certainly be with Royal's family and with everyone at WSB. May God bless you all.

• Perspective
  I turned on the radio this morning and heard what I thought was a caller's "condolences to the royal family in their time of tragedy." I was only half listening and there was noise in the background. I was surprised at what I thought I had heard; wondering if Queen Elizabeth had finally passed.. 
• Then, I heard the news correctly. I was stunned. I have nothing against the British Royals, but I was more saddened by this. 
• Royal Marshall gone at 43. He was a very important part of the show and helped keep Neal grounded. The show will go on, and I sincerely hope that it maintains the level of entertainment and information that we have come to enjoy.. but the show will not, nor can we expect it to be the same.
• As to the family, I can only imagine the grief you are having right now. It is hard to lose a loved one; especially so young. Keep your friends and family close and they will get you through. We will keep you in our thoughts.

  You both must know that nothing in this world could force your father to leave you. Only the hand of God could have taken him to heaven so he could be your personal angel.

• A Good Man Passes On...
  With more than 900 responses before me there are no new words I can use, but I just have to add my heartfelt sorrow and sincere condolences to Royal’s family (and that includes the Boortz team). I was shocked and saddened to turn on the radio and hear the news. Marshall is an integral part of the show and it will be different without him. Royal was always ready to call Neal out and give another perspective when Neal was having way too much fun doing his thing. That Royal could do that (and keep his job) was a testament to the deep level of respect and admiration Neal holds for Royal. I can only imagine the pain that exists within the hearts of Neal and Belinda; and Royal’s wife and daughters. I didn’t always agree with Marshall’s perspective, but as an older black man I needed to hear his young and fresh look at our world today. I will miss Royal’s deep voice coming from my radio.

  I only know of Royal from his participation on Neal's show. It was very clear that Neal, Royal and Belinda were like a family. I know the pain you both feel is difficult, but you have to know that Royal is looking down upon you and telling you that the show must go on. God's speed to you Royal Marshall, and prayers for your loving family.

  The chemistry of the show was Neal, Belinda and Royal. It was a tripod of dynamism. I am shocked and saddened by his leaving too soon. Having just lost my own little brother 2 months ago at 46, leaving a wife and 3 little ones...it just doesn't seem right. or fair. or just...that such a good man would be ripped from his family and friends. wrong. just plain wrong.

• Lonely Commuters Will Miss Him VERY Much...
  It's strange how soothing voices coming from intelligent and humorous radio personalities can make solo commuters less lonely. That's how I felt when listening to Neil, Royal, Belinda and the rest of the WSB on-air personalities. I would hate it when I drove out of the WSB signal range. There was something about the lighthearted banter that took place between Neil, Royal and Belinda that made you feel like a welcome member of their family. It was easy to tell just by listening to them...not even having to see them...that those three truly loved and respected each other as family members, not just colleagues or friends. Such chemistry is rare, and their chemistry was a welcome addition for all of us commuters, alone in our vehicles. It will be nearly impossible for someone to fill Royal's shoes, and God bless the one who tries. I'm saying a prayer for Royal's family at his home AND his family at WSB to support each other through this trying time. As thousands of us have said, we will truly miss this man.

  My prayers are with his wife and children as they dwell on what should have been versus what is. As well with you at his home away from home. One of the greatest treasures in life is to work in an environment that allows you to express your opinion and love your co workers with out regard of anything else. Royal accomplished that, and you were the beneficiaries as well as the catalyst's that created such an environment, and then allowed the listeners to comprehend it on the air. God bless you all.

  No words can provide comfort to his family, friends, or those of us who knew him only by his voice. When the grief is diminished a bit, we can take joy in that he was in our life and touched it with his joy of living, he taught by example (he taught me to appreciate Neil). I learned so much just by listening to him, and for that I am thankful and bless that for ever how long he was in my life, at least he was there.

  I am so sorry to hear of Royal's sudden passing. I was glad to hear he was involved with his church. None of us are promised even the next breath and these kind of events certainly bring that home. I hope you're resting in peace Royal, you were excellent in what you did and best wishes for your wife and daughters.

• We were blessed to have known him
  No words can provide comfort to his family, friends, or those of us who knew him only by his voice. But when the grief is over or diminished a bit, we can take joy in the fact that he was in our life and touched it with his joy of living, the things he taught by example (he taught me to appreciate Neil). I learned so much just by knowing him, and for that I am thankful and bless that for ever how long he was in my life, at least he was there. God bless his family and wrap them in his arms as they heal from their loss.

  I was in the car at 10am this morning when I heard Neal's statement about Royal's passing. Then, a very strange thing happened. I started crying. (I'm a 64 year old male Boortz devotee.) I was crying for a man I never met, never even saw. But I heard his voice almost every day and I knew from hearing that voice along with his warm and funny exchanges with Neal and Belinda that this was a very good man. My sincere prayers are with his wife, children and the Boortz team as well. Bless you, Royal Marshall. You will be sorely missed.

  It is indeed heartbreaking to hear of Royal's passing. I've listened to him along with Neal for years and have grown to know his voice but not until today saw his face.. I'm sorry that I waited till now to see it, so that I could associate a face with a voice.. He was a good looking kid and will miss him and his comments on Neal's show... Neal, Royal's family and friends.. I am sorry for your your loss....

  Listening to Royal, you could tell he was a man of great faith. I believe he touched lives sharing his faith. Our family will remember Royal's family and work family in our prayers.

  I was driving to the vet on Saturday, just after noon, when I received a call from my clearly upset 80-something dad. I didn't understand what he was trying to tell me at first; but he was obviously distraught. When he finally conveyed the sad news of Royal's passing, I had to pull off the road because I couldn't see through my tears to drive. What a testament to a man who touched people across generations; without ever meeting them. What a huge loss in his passing; and what a great blessing in his time with us.

• Just Damn!!
  I've listened to Royal since the beginning and that was a favorite quote of his when something was just not right. He provided a lot of knowledge, humor, and entertainment to our radio world. His death from heart disease brings back memories of another WSB family member, Mike Kavanagh. He also died too soon two years ago over the holidays suddenly of a heart attack. Comments said about both of them were of their overwhelming kindness, caring, and just being good men. Maybe their hearts were just too big, which is not really possible.
• My heart is sad today and goes out to his family.

  I've listened to WSB 750 for more years than I care to admit, and only once before have I heard Scott Slade break up with emotion. That was Sept. 11 2001, not to compare Royal's passing with that horrific time, but to have such an excellent broadcaster as Scott lose his emotions this morning speaks as to how much Royal was admired by his coworkers as well as his listeners. Thanks for all the years Royal, and may God bless.

• In Recognition Of Royal Marshall's Indepent Thought
  Dear Boortz Show Family Members:
• As a Black male indent conservative I wanted to identify myself as such as a pretext for showing my appreciation of Royal Marshall's independent thought. I assure you that Royal was attacked by certain "bigots" within the Black community for daring to affiliate himself with the views that we are told are of "our enemy". Today this is done more for political advantage than in support of provable points as to what afflicts our community with the greatest of intensity. 
• Royal was strong and confident enough in his own views to articulate where he agreed with Boortz and the points of disagreement. Instead of hiding behind name calling he was able to articulate his views. Sometimes you guys "agreed to disagree". 
• When it comes to the attacks from within our community that are based upon the assumption of "ideological unity" that are made against Black people who dare to go against the ideological grain it was Royal who set the standard of how to stand up against those who attempt to use "group think" to confine our community and thus he showed that the critics are the weak minded bigots akin to those who our community has suffered from. Those who use suppression of opinion to retain their establishment power are the real threats.
• As a 43 year old male this fate suffered by Royal has hit home for me. I need to focus on my physical condition and my dietary habits so I can do everything possible to endure as a key member of my family.
• I am deeply saddened for the loss experienced by Royal's family - both by blood and by affiliation on the airwaves. He will be missed.

I was listening Saturday when Neal called in to speak with Adam, Clark, Scott and Mark, I normally do not get choked up about things I hear on the radio, but after 17 years of Boortz in the morning I have come to consider you three part of my daily routine. Neal, you broke my heart. My husband and I have a small family operated business and my employees are like my kids, I love each and everyone of them. I am sending you my heartfelt condolences and pray that you remember he will always be right by your side. Belinda, my heart aches for you too. Thanks for 17 wonderful years, and I will continue to keep Annette, Amira, and Ava in my thoughts. Bless you all.

  I, too, feel as though I've lost a dear friend. I really enjoyed listening to Royal's comments and conversations with Neal. I lost my husband 7 years ago very suddenly and he left behind two daughters aged 11 and 14. He was only 48 years old. My heart and prayers go out to his wife and all those who loved him. I know they must be asking "why Royal??". I found my answer in the Scriptures "for in His book, their names were written". Some things just can't be explained until we are all reunited in Heaven. God bless him and his family. With God, all things are possible.

That brought several laughs and a big cheer-up smile to my face hearing that again! Even though he is still gone, it's great to know his voice and fondness for life and charity towards families and friends will live forever.

  Rev King said, "I pray for a day that a man can be judged on the content of his character rather than the color of his skin." Rev King, meet Mr Marshall.
• My sincerest condolences to his family and friends, I read the story twice before I could believe it. As for Royal himself: Well Done Sir! Bravo!

  It was always a joy to listen to you all interact w/each other. Royal always remained calm and brought forth such profound wisdom and knowledge and it was always done in love. My prayers and heartfelt condolences to his wife Annette, daughters Amira and Ava, WSB radio family, and all who knew and loved him. He will be greatly missed and always remembered....!

• Remembering Royal
  There's nothing like waking up to seemingly unreal News.
• To those who knew him well, he was: "a very, very, good man". If that's the case, than it follows that there's an existing shortage of angels, up above. 
• It would probably explain the sudden summoning.
• I believe I'll always remember him for his masterful translation and reinterpretation of "BOO GOT SHOT".
• Neal & Belinda...Hang in there.

• Shocking News
  I have enjoyed listening to the Boortz show for years, and have always respected Royal for his contribution to the show. Reading the news this morning was a complete shock. I am saddened for everyone who knew and worked with him for it is a clear loss. Having lost my wife at a young age, I know to some degree the pain his wife and children will be living with in the future. Though it will be little consolation at this moment, let me just say to everyone who grieves that (as hard as it may be to believe) it will get better over time. It never goes completely away, but it does get better. God bless and receive Royal into His eternal Kingdom, and walk with those who must wait to see him again when they, too, are received by our Lord.

• Loss Of A Friend For All
  Lots of prayers and thoughts for the family of Royal as well as his coworkers. Realized this morning while listening to the tribute that over the last 15 years Royal had come to be a friendly voice to fill my lonely truck in traffic everyday that will be greatly missed. I truly feel that a piece of the family has been lost.

• Remembering Royal
  I have been in constant prayer since I heard the news on Saturday, praying for Royal's precious wife and daughters as well as his WSB family and listeners. What an impact his life as been on the lives of so many people, as evidenced by the comments on this and other sites. 
• Thank you especially to Royal's WSB family for the opportunity they've given all weekend for people who admired Royal to voice our feelings. I comforts and amazes me to read how many folks loved him and felt they knew him without ever meeting him in person.
• Hopefully his daughters will have a sense of how special their father was from their mother, Neal, Belinda, Christina and others who were physically close to Royal, as well as those of us who admired a man we never met.
• Still praying,

• Our Loss
  Royal Marshall was a key piece of Atlanta radio and it was easy for one to hear the love Neal and Bellinda had for him. They call music groups "Tight" when they are great, and this 3 member group really was "tight" for 20 plus years. God Bless Royal Marshal, his family and his on air family at WSB. We love you Royal and will never forget you!

  Those of us who were loyal fans of the Boortz show are all devastated by the sudden passing of Royal Marshall. Royal, Neal, and Belinda always came across the radio as real people more so than other talk radio personalities. For that reason, the loss of Royal hits us even harder. We have lost a friend. My sincerest condolences to Royal's family and friends.

• Like a dream, within a dream.
  One of the last funny things I remember from Royal was when they were talking to the guy saying the magnetic pole shift was due and that it would mean the end of life as we know it. Oh, there would be disasters like tsunamis and volcanoes. "How would you survive?", Neal said. "How would you cook your food?" To which Royal deftly spake, "He could use the lava..."
• Bless your family and friends. I doubt there will be any lava where you are going.

  As I was driving in to work this morning and listing to the radio it was a shock to hear of Royal’s passing, it was like a splash of cold water in my face. As I sit here and try to work, my mind keeps going to his wife and little girls and how they must be feeling at this time. It is very sad and tragic to lose someone so suddenly. I know that Neal and Belinda will be lost at work for a long time. You can never replace someone like Royal, but I know that he would want the show to continue and grow even better. God bless Royal’s family and the work family also.

  Dear Marshall Family,
• Royal was a great man who I got to know via the Neal Boortz show; I wish I lived in the area and could have known him a lot better, because he seemed like such a quality man. Now, reading more about him, it's obvious that he absolutely is that quality man that he always seemed to be to us listeners.
• Our prayers are with your entire family, and the family that Royal leaves behind at work as well. God bless you all; I know that Royal is smiling down upon you all from Heaven. He is with God now, and he'll welcome you with open arms when you go to meet him someday.
• God bless and sincere best wishes for you all in this troubled time,

  I switched to the Boortz show as I always do at 9 A.M. central, and was shocked at what I was hearing! Royal Marshall gone?!!
• I quickly brought up Nealz Nuze to see if what I was hearing was real.
• My condolences go out to all of you. To Royal's family and friends. I cannot imagine what it will be like to try and go on without Royal in the studio. It will be like a huge hole in the structure of the show. I know that Neal, Belinda, and the rest of you who worked with him thought of him as much more than just a coworker. He was family. Just as we, the faithful listeners, thought of him as part of our daily routine and a familiar voice in our homes. 
• He will be very sadly missed! This feeling of shock and sadness will not go away soon.
• God bless you all, and God bless Royal Marshall.

• Goodbye Royal
  I still cannot believe this is real. I grew up listening to Neal, Royal and Belinda. When I was in elementary school my class took a field trip to the studio and I got to watch the crew as they were live on the air. I remember being the only kid in the class who actually listened to the show and I was so excited. Royal even held up a sign asking us "Who is the smartest?"
• I am now 25 years old and still listen every day. There will certainly be a void in every single morning commute from this day forward. I am just grateful I got to spend so many years listening to him.

  Have been listening to Neal for many years now and Royal when he did his show and he will be missed by everyone and I cannot imagine the pain for his wife and daughters. God Bless Royal and his family. I felt like I knew you even though we never met. Shocked and saddened to hear this.

  Listening to you and Royal was part of my day. When I traveled and found a station carrying his show, I would love to listen. He seemed to be a genuine person, unlike some of the phonies out there that say what you want to hear. I could here when you two spoke how much you cared for each other and my prayers go out to you and Royal's family and of course Royal will be remembered in my prayers as well.

  I enjoyed listening to Royal on Neal's show and "The Royal Treatment" while that was running. I also enjoyed seeing him on "HotTopics" at times. I will miss him sparring playfully with Neal and Royal always had good answers for Neal's questions.

What overwhelms us now is to see the impact that Royal’s life had on thousands of folks~~many he never met face to face. His voice sounded happy, uplifting, and was a magnet that drew folks.

  I am so sorry for the loss of Royal, your friend first and foremost. I listen daily in my car and have always enjoyed the interjection from Royal, his calming effect and "sanity" effect on Neal and the banter that we heard often between Belinda, Neal and Royal!! I will never forget his laughter and remember vividly when his first daughter was born and how proud he was and how Neal was like a proud Grandpa! God Bless you all as you go thru this time and I will continue to pray for Royal's wife and beautiful daughters. You will be missed Royal!

• Once upon a time...
  I remember when I was working at the now defunct Chapter 11 bookstore to get myself through seminary, I drew the lucky straw and worked a Boortz booksigning (this was around 1995). Belinda, Royal, and Boortz were there. Needless to say, the crowd was crazy and it was difficult work keeping everyone in line. What sticks with me most was Royal's humor, and his ability to make even the lowliest bookstore worker feel important. He was the the "humor-glue" that kept the team together, and kept Neal in line. Thanks, Royal, for seeing the potential and the best in everyone he ever met.

  As a long time listener, I am so very sad to hear of Royal's passing. Even though I am only a very few years older than Royal, I felt like I watched him grow up over the years. Watching, or rather hearing, him change from a carousing bachelor to a doting husband and father was so very endearing. His love for his wife, daughters, Neil, and Belinda absolutely shone through the radio. You will be missed by many, Mr. Marshall. Job well done. May God rest your soul.

• What a tragedy
  I started listening to the Boortz show several years ago because I was listening to the radio one night and heard the most articulate and logical radio personality on the Royal Martial Show. Then I realized he was on the Boortz show, so it was more than just a fat old guy. The fat old guy was surrounding himself with the best and the brightest. I loved listening to Royal, and I am heartbroken for his wife and daughters. G-d bless you and keep you all.

• Deepest Sympathies
  I have been listening to the Neal Boortz show since I was in high school. Ironically, it was my father who is quite the liberal democrat who turned me on to talk radio which in turn was the catalyst in turning me from a democrat to a conservative. I have enjoyed listening to Neal, Royal, and Belinda over the years even though I don't always agree with Neal's views. I always though Royal was the voice of reason who could reel Boortz in when he got too far out there :). He will be missed. Our families' prayers are with his family. God Bless!

• So sorry for your loss
  I'm listening to the show via the Internet stream. Apparently our local affiliate decided that we Neal Boortz listeners wouldn't want to hear today's Atlanta-focused show. They just don't understand how close we feel to Neal and his on-air family. And one of that family is gone now. I can't imagine the Neal Boortz Show without Royal. I've never met Royal, but if I feel his loss so deeply, I can't imagine how hard it must be for his wife and kids and those who worked with him in his on-air family. Royal may not have known just how large his extended family is. He has radio brothers and sisters all over the U.S. I am so sorry for your loss, and I'm sending my love and prayers to you all.

  My sincere thoughts and prayers go to Royal's wife and girls. Listening to Boortz for over 10 years, I always enjoyed the chemistry and interaction between Boortz, Belinda, and Royal. A very unique mix of fun, countertalk, and laughs. A genius of a talent and super great guy. Met him once after a Power Lunch and of course he was smiling and was very pleasant. I know Boortz and Belinda, along with the WSB family and listeners, are heartbroken. Thanks so much, Royal, for your legacy at WSB! RIP, old friend!

  Our prayers go out for Royal's family and all those who mourn his passing.

I truly cannot wrap my head around the grief that his family and close friends must be going through.
• I will miss hearing Royal on the air. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard as the first time I heard Royal's bilingual talents in his translation of "Boo Got Shot." To Amira and Ava, please know that your Daddy was well-respected and loved by lots of people, even those who never met him in person.

  When I heard of Royal's passing, my heart sank; and, I was STUNNED! I wandered around in disbelief all weekend! I don't know his wife or kids, but you feel like you do.....and knowing their loss makes your heart ache. It is still hard to get your head around the fact that he is gone. I set my clock this morning because I knew the Boortz show time slot would have a tribute to Royal. I listen to the Neal Boortz show every day. I cannot imagine what the show will be like without Royal to keep Neal in line. He was such an integral part - and, he had such a way of "handling" Neel. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone at WSB and his family and friends!!!! God bless each and every one of you!

• Here I am shedding a tear for someone I didn't personaly meet, but even though I never met Royal, he was part of my morning family all the way up here in North Carolina.
• I guess God needed a good producer up there, and personaly requested Royal.
• I'm not going to say goodby Royal, because I'll always remember you and your great outlook on life.

  My sincere condolences. I've been aware of the Neal Boortz Show since 1997 (first listening and then reading daily the website) and Royal was always an important part of it. My heart goes out to his immediate and radio family,

  Royal,
• You never knew me, I have never met you. However, through the radio I know you well. I am shocked and grieving deeply. I will miss you dearly as many fans of yours will. Thanks Royal, for all you did, for all your insight, and for how you have touched our lives. I pray for your family and send my deepest sympathy.

• Heartfelt Sympathy
  At first I didn't understand why I was moved to tears when I learned of Royal's passing. I soon realized that, being an avid fan of The Neal Boortz show, I have shared almost every morning with Neal, Royal and Belinda. They are family. Not just with each other, but with every single listener and fan. We have lost a great friend, a wonderful man and a fine American. I believe Royal's pastor said, "his life is a eulogy unto itself..". Very true. Our rememberances of loved ones are generally of the deeds in their prime. Royal has always been in HIS prime.. for 15 years... a true class act, professional and a genuine human being. WSB, Neal, Belinda and to Royal's direct family, his wife and daughters; God Bless you and the memory of Royal Marshall

• Royal
  I am so sad to hear the news of Royal's sudden passing. I didn't "know" Royal, but I felt I knew him like a friend - in fact, I listened to him on the shows more than most of my friends. 
• He presented himself as being unselfish, loving everyone in the community, mostly his wife and little girls. He was an absolute first-class guy.
• My heart and prayers go out to everyone in his family, church, coworkers and listeners. He will be greatly missed by many people.
• See you in Heaven, brother!

  I don't get to listen to the Boortz show too often because of work, but I will certainly miss Royal. He was so wonderful in balancing out Neal's views and bringing his own perspective and personality to the show. What a very special man he was.
• I'll be interested in hearing more about the scholarship fund for Royal's little girls. My prayers are going up for Royal's family, including his WSB radio family.

• The passing of Royal Marshall
  I am totallty shocked and saddened to hear of the death of Royal. I've been a listener of the morning show for many years , usually catching Reboortz late at night while driving over the road trucking before the days of multi-station broadcasting. He was funny, intelligent and didn't shy away from throwing down a "penalty flag" on something Neal said or did. Likewise, when Neal was totally off base and would turn to Royal to back him up, Royal would reply, "Neal, I'm not even touch that." Royal, Neal and Belinda were a rare commodity; a team that truly worked well together. Royal, I will miss you. You were good.
  By Ray Drescher @ 01/17/11 08:50:07 AM
  
  
• Heartfelt sympothy
  As a listener of The Neal Boortz show, Royal Marshall was, in my mind, a member of my family. Just like Neal, Belinda, Scott, Mark, Cpt. Herb.. and so on.. it is/was a foregone conclusion that I'd listen to you, laugh and cry with you. My heart is broken, and to be honest I didn't know why I felt this way at first, but, I now realize that, even through radio, by listening to and empathizing with the on-air talent... you truly build a family connection. I'm so sorry for your loss as a radio family and I'm so sorry for his wonderful wife and precious daughters. It's a truly unique moment, as a listener, to realize just how much I am moved by and connected to this man, his collegues and this station. Thank you for 15 wonderful years Royal. The only fitting words, that a dear friend of mine said, when I told him about Royal's passing... "Just damn". God Bless.

  I have listened to Neal and the program for close to 15 years. Royal was a great "sidekick" to Neal on occasions and an intelligent adversary on others. He will be sorely missed and our hearts and prayers go out to his family.

  Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Royal. He truly gave all of us "The Royal Treatment". I met Royal at one of Neal's book signings and was impressed with his genuine personality and sense of humor. He will be greatly missed.

• Royal Marshall
  Like everyone else here, I was shocked when I signed on Saturday morning and read Neal's "Remembering Royal Marshall". I had to re-read it to make sure my eyes were seeing accurately! The Boortz webpage is my Home page, so I am still hit with shock everytime it comes up. It's hard for one's brain to wrap around this. 
• I never knew Royal but loved listening to him and his bantor with Neal and Belinda. I began listening to Neal's show almost daily on April 20th, 1995, to be exact, the day after the Oklahoma City incident. I have listened ever since. Even when I had to move to South Carolina two years ago, I have continued to listen to the show via radio or computer. 
• I always thought of Neal, Royal and Belinda as The Three Musketeers. Always able to set one another straight, but always, ALWAYS there for eachother. 
• My heart goes out to Royal's family. Please know Royal was loved by many without out us even knowing him. It takes a special person to create that kind of love. My heartfelt prayers go out to Royal's family, and to his WSB family. I am truly deeply sorry for your loss.

  Not really sure that i can get through the day without Royal's voice and witty comments.

• Royals passing
  I am deeply saddened. Over the years I listened to the show I stayed angry at Neal, most of the time but I kept listening. This is greatly due to the quality of the show & love shared between Neal, Royal & Belinda. I am crushed!

• Condolence to the Family and Friends of Royal Mashall
  To Annette, Amira, Ava, Neal, Belinda,Laura, and Cristina,
• I pray that all of you will be comforted by Our Heavenly Father and Our Lord, Jesus Christ, thru the Holy Ghost at this heartbreaking time in your life. Most of all I pray that His wife and little girls, will know that he still lives, the same way that Jesus Christ still lives. He has just move on to the next life, way before what we consider a long life.
• I have faithfully have listen to the Neal Boortz Show every change I get, since 1998. I would listen tho Royal at night during the time he had his show at night. I love the his humor and the give-take between him, Neal, and Belinda. He would keep Neal from make a FCC show stopping error. He will be a hard act to follow for who ever replaces him on the show. Your Loyal Listener,( from Dublin, GA)

  As hard as it is for us longtime listners, it's going to take awhile to get used to Royal not being there and giving Belinda (and Neal) a hard time. I loved what the three of you brought to us each morning. My deepest condolences to his family and to his family at WSB. He will truly be missed.

• Royals passing
  Words certainly can't express the shock of learning of his passing. My mother died at 50 in her sleep and left me and my family in such crippling mourning. the Bible says to mourn with those who mourn, and in this terrible loss that is all we can do. In the words of Jeremiah the prophet I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. Jer.31:8. May our God of Peace be the the Marshall family and all his dear friends. Royal you will be missed

  Neal, Belinda and the rest of the WSB staff. I cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss of Royal. I have listened to you everyday for the past 3 yrs on WSB and before that while I was stationed at Ft. Bragg. I always anticipated and lovehearing Royals playful banter and his joyful ribbing of you and Belinda in order to try and get a rise out of you. I know that God has joyously opened Heavens gates for this kind and wonderful man. I pray that God will keep his family in his grace and to help ease the pain that you all that so personally knew him must feel. May God bless all of you and help kind and comfort you in this terrible time of sorrow.

Thank you, Royal, for making me smile on my way to work... you will be greatly missed.

  I was stunned to read of Royal's untimely death, and the first thing I thought of was, "Oh, no, those poor little girls." His love and adoration for his family was a tangible thing for all your listeners. 
• My sympathy to the entire WSB family -- and especially Neal and Belinda, who have lost not on a colleague, but a member of their family. A team that works together so well and so intimately for so many years -- it's impossible to conceive the size of the hole that Royal's death has left in your hearts. God bless.

I came to veiw Royal as a constant in my day along w/ all of you. I know that I will miss his quips at you and is playful agravation towards you in his way of trying to get you "worked up". However whatever loss I feel is nothing in comparison w/ you that truly knew him. May God welcome him w/ open arms, keep his family in his grace and help ease the sorrow that all of you must feel. God Bless all of you.

  Upon hearing the news, I could not believe what I was hearing. Royal is the last person I would think this to happen to. My condolences go to his family, also to Neal and Belinda. I sit hear teary eyed typing even though I never met this great man. I guess as an avid listener to Neal since 1987 it has become part of my everyday to hear Royal. An extra prayer will be said for him, his wife, and children. God has a plan for all of us, He just took Royal from us too soon.

• With great sadness...
  I have been a fan of the Boortz show for years and the show is great because of a great team. Royal was a fundamental part of that team. He was witty, funny, brilliant and would disagree with respect. He was a personality that anyone who listened came to admire and I am deeply sorry to his family, his friends, and everyone at WSB for this terrible loss. He was a special, rare and talented man and I pray for his daughters to know him some day through all the great memories everyone at the station has of him.

  This is one of those things in life that is hard to get your head around. I love listening to Neal, Royal and Belinda. Every time Neal would go to Royal, I intently waited to hear Royal's response. What a team. It's sad enough to think about the radio show with Royal, so I can't begin to think about the family's grief. Thank you, Royal. I only realized today that you were a student at UGA when I was an instructor there. I'd like to think we passed each other sometime in the Journalism building.

  I enjoyed listening to Royal through the years. It was fun to watch the transition from bachelor to family man. Now that his family has prepared him, they've helped make him fit to move home with God. And they can trust that God gave them just enough of the "Royal Treatment" to help them make it, too.

• Stunned and very, very sad
  This is so very sad! I have listened to the show for years. The camaraderie between Neal, Royal & Belinda was unprecedented. My heart dropped this morning when my husband and I were reading the Atlanta paper, and we read where Royal had passed away yesterday morning. Our family expresses our sincere sympathy with Royal’s wife and two young daughters – as well as his WSB family. Every “family” suffers losses - whether a biological family member or a tight knit family of a T.V./Radio station – such as WSB. This loss is extremely hard. You can tell that Royal was loved by his family, friends and listeners. Our prayers are with all of you.

• I got an idea!
  Why not run an hour or two of the vintage "Royal Treatment Show" in the next few days?
• And, for just one day, put back up the vintage cartoon(from the old website) of Neal, Belinda and Royal?

• Just Awful
  Let me first state how absolutely saddened I am for the WSB family and Royal Marshall's family in particular. Not to make a bad situation worse but the next time the left complains about "Hate Speech" I can now simply point to Democratic Underground and have them read the awful things people have written about Royal Marshall. Just makes me (and should you) sick.

  He was a part of so many of my mornings. Of course I don't know his loss like those that knew him. But I can tell from the wonderful shared stories I heard yesterday that he was as much a pleasure to know as he was to listen to. God bless his family and friends in this terrible hour.

  Royal's quick wit and sharpness will be deeply missed by everyone. When Neal was on a rant about something I would pause to hear Royal's reaction to take the edge off or to hear a calm voice of reason. He was a man of God and family and my thoughts and prayers are with those who were closest to him as they deal with such a loss. Neal's show will continue of course but there will always be a missing personality who added so much life and spirit to the broadcast.

He truly complimented the Neal Boortz Show. I know his wife and girls will miss him. Neal and Belinda oh my! How will they be able to make it through a whole show knowing Royal will never grace their presence again. Just Dang!

• Royal
  Royal was a true gentleman and so much a part of the Neal Boortz show. The more he interacted with Neal on the show the better I liked it. I like many others are still shocked and in disbelief that he is no longer going to be behind the mic waiting to pounce on Neal if Royal believed that Neal was out of line. God's blessings to his two daughters and his wife. We will be praying for them.

  ...has just gotten waaay better. I learned of Royal's passing last night. Even though I had not personally met the man, from listening to him over the years I felt like I knew him. I actually cried. 
• I remember when he got engaged, married, had his kids. His passion for his family flowed over the airwaves till you could FEEL it.
• I cannot imagine how Neal, Belinda and the rest of the Boortz family are coping right now(and the entire WSB family for that matter). I hope God somehow comforts all of you during this time.

• We'll miss you Royal
  What can I say? I'm stunned. We are never prepared for these types of things. And I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way, but for Royal this is good. He passed away in much the same way my father did and my mother as well. He "lived" right up until the very end. And in the end, he went rather peacefully. It's just very difficult for those he left behind. I will miss his commentary, but more importantly, those that knew and loved him most (i.e. Annette, the girls, Neal, Belinda, et al) have suffered a tremendous loss, and my heart truly goes out to all of you, and I hope you find peace as you navigate through this grieving process.

  Neal and Belinda - 
• It just broke my heart when I read this, today. When I lived in Conyers, Georgia, I became a fan of your show and remember listening to "The Royal Treatment" late at night on WSB. When we moved to Columbia, SC, I missed hearing the voices of Neal, Belinda and Royal and was so excited when WIS radio started carrying the show. I remember when Royal got married. Seems like yesterday. I hate that I never got the chance to meet him in person.

  Sunday morning, January 15, 2011, we lost a very special member of our extended family. May we, along with Royal, ask God to open his arms to his wife, children, and, most assuredly, thousands of friends and colleagues in this time of need. I feel like I have lost a brother that I wasn't born to, but, have grown up with. Love ya', Royal!

• Lord Bless His Family
  Royal's comments were always a welcome counterpoint to Neal's rants. I am stunned and saddened by this news, and reminded that none of us are promised tomorrow. Not even genuinely decent people like Mr. Marshall. I second the question posed by another poster - is there a memorial fund, or college fund for his daughters? I recall Royal's joy over the birth of his children; it hurts that they will grow up without their father's immediate presence (but may his spirit be with them always).

• The absence of the Yang
  As long as I've been listening to the Neal Boortz, Royal was always there, commented now and then, and keeping Neal is check. The Yang to his Yin. I always loved that Neal would allow Royal or Belinda to break in and comment at any time. I can't think of any other talk show hosts that afford that courtesy to their producers, and it always made the show so much better.
• I remember listening to the Royal Treatment at nights, and still to this day I would rather have been listening to Royal than Savage. I know Neal had a big part in helping him get his own show, but I'm sure the schedule was hard to keep, having to be back at work again at 6am.
• All this time, I thought when the team would break up, it would be because Neal retired. I always admired Royal, and I will remember him for the rest of my rest.
• Just damn.

  Like others, I am in shock upon hearing of Royal's death. I had no idea, & am sitting here just feeling like "wow, sometimes life is just not fair." Royal's translation of the "When Boo got shot" is still one of the funniest pieces I've ever heard, a true classic, just like Royal himself. RIP Mr. Marshall!

• A Sad Day Indeed...
  All of us who've been part of the Boortz listening audience/family are just devastated at the loss of what we all came to feel as a good friend. My heart bleeds for the Neal Boortz show family and for the Marshall family indeed. Royal will always be remembered.

• Royal - You're truly ROYAL
  I pray for safe passage for you, Royal, to the other side, and I already know it is already done!
• I listened to you n Boortz a good many years ago. Your “Royal Treatment” show was just great – so full of life and enthusiasm . One of the things I loved most about you, when listening to Boortz was the way you always had a quick and intelligently provocative come back to some of Neal’s most “out-there” remarks. Indeed, you kept the show sane!
• My sincerest prayers and positive thoughts go out to your wife, Annette, and to your daughters, Amira and Ava, and your and Annette’s parents, both your extended families, your entire radio family, and the church and community you so selflessly and brilliantly served.
• When thoughts of you come to mind, they will always be accompanied with a “GREAT BIG OLE SOUTHERN SMILE – ATLANTA WSB STYLE”. We miss you, and extend our love to you and yours always and forever. Love and thanks to you for all you were, and gave to us here in this earthly life.

  I am so sorry for your loss. Though I have never met you, Belinda or Royal personally, you are definitely a part of my "everyday" and I feel such a loss that Royal won't be part of that anymore.

• Royal
  Many did not know Royal personally, but felt we knew him as listeners. Royal spoke from his heart which endeared him to so many who never actually met him. His wit, wisdom, temperment, and laughter on radio was always like having a friend nearby. 
• We also listened and heard when he was single, then married, then a father of two beautiful little girls. We knew what that meant to him. 
• What a great legacy to impact so many. And so many he never met. Thoughts and prayers to Royal's family, WSB family and friends. Royal will be missed.

• Damn, just damn
  I'm crying as I write this - Royal was one of the best parts of the Boortz show. Like most of the others posting here, I never had the honor of meeting him, but felt like I knew him after listening to him on Boortz and "the Treatment" for so many years. You could just tell he was a good man; a class act. Some of my fave Royal memories: in their early days working together, Neal giving him a hard time for getting to work late and wearing Hawaiian shirts; his single man adventures, including going to Rio; Neal once saying that he looked like Jimmy (JJ) Walker; the Royal Treatment, which also ended too soon; their golf talk; his willingness to challenge Neal and provide some levity; and, of course, Boo Got Shot. Such a loss....

• Remembering Royal
  I am still in shock. I just heard about it an hour ago and I still cannot believe it. To Neal and Belinda: I just don't know what to say. The three of you together on the radio were magic. There was no better team in radio. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, his young daughters and his WSB-Radio family. Royal, you will be missed. Atlanta radio is better because of you and Atlanta radio will not be the same without you. RIP my friend.

• Royal will be missed!
  I have just about the passing of Royal Marshall. I am sad. For I referred to him as friend after meeting him at "The Fair Tax" Book signing.
• Further I have listened to him in the morning and at night for the "Royal Treatment".
• I am an avid talk show "Junkie" and have come know a lot about of him. Yes, of course from riibing of his close freind Niel Boortz. It qas never in spitw but out of the fact they were infact a family. 
• I swat here about to cry becuase of people he leaves behind. God please his wife that after many years of knowing one another finally tied the knot. Bless his two young children that he loved very much. And yes his other family at WSB. 
• Good bye Royal Gone to soon,,,

  Even though I never met Royal it was like losing a friend. I know there are no words that can comfort his family or friends at this moment. But if you remember his life he will live in your heart forever and he will never die.

  What a loss. Some of my favorite memories of the show was listening to Royal antagonize and bait Neal, and Neal would fall for it and bite every time! Royal will be greatly missed.

• At the passing of Royal Marshall
  I am shocked at the sudden passing of Royal, and saddened at his loss to family and friends. By all accounts he was an excellent man. But do not take his passing too hard - he's gone to a far better place and he's looking back at us, hoping and waiting to each of the people he loved dearest again.

• Royal will be missed
  I am saddened to hear the news that Royal Marshall has passed. He was always an entertaining part of the Neal Boortz show and had a great wit that definitely matched that of Neal's own. I remember years ago, while I worked the late shift for a company right out of college, that I would pull WSB online up and listen to Royal's show which was always entertaining. 
• I pray for his family, both immediate and extended(WSB), and offer condolences in their time of grief. May god bless you all.

  My wife and I first moved to the Atlanta area in 1996. Immediately we found the "Neal Boortz Show" and instantly fell in love with Neal, Royal and Belinda. I identified so much with Royal as I am 44 years old and am the father of 2. Like Royal, I waited a little longer in life to have children. I did not always agree with Royal but man he sure made a good argument for the issues he cared about. He seemed like such a great guy. Obviously, everyone who knew him personally really knew he was a great person. I wish I could have known him personally. I extend my heartfelt prayers and thoughts to his immediate family as well as his radio family. I know you all are hurting now so please know that Royal mattered to many of us out here in radioland.

  While I can not claim to gave known Royal personally, I have been privileged to be able to listen to him for the past several years. By all accounts he was a truly great man, father, friend, and colleague. As he takes his flight with the angels, we can take comfort in the knowledge that he loved life and acted as an inspiration to those of us who aspired to be something more. May God comfort his wife and daughters as well as Neil, Belinda, and the rest of the WSB family.

• I used to listen to the Royal Treatment when I would travel home late at night from my first job out of college. He always helped me get home and even got me to call in a few times.

When I heard you Neal crying I also shed a tear. My heart goes out to you all and to his little girls I know he will be with them forever.

  For so many years we've enjoyed the intellectual, good natured sparring between Neal and Royal and Belinda. No matter how often they disagreed you always knew that behind the discussion they respected and cared about each other. It was that friendship that kept us listening. It will never be same for Neal and Belinda and it won't be for all of us as well. Our hearts are broken for this tragic loss. RIP now Royal. You were a friend to all of us and left us too soon.

• However, I sat in traffic many mornings on I-85 listening to Neal and Royal...and as someone who has come to rarely agree with Neal lately, I am so sorry to hear this. Royal was a good man...and a very funny kind man.
• Just Damn.

• I had the pleasure of meeting Royal at the book signing for Neal's Fair Tax book at the Barnes and Noble on Barrett Parkway a few years back, where I had a brief conversation with him. He came across to me as a super nice guy and cheerfully signed my copy of Neal's book. I have never heard anything even remotely negative said about the guy.

• Gonna miss you old friend
  Even though I don't know any member of the Boortz Show personally. With Royals passing, I can't help but feel that one of my old friends are now gone. Royal was the anchor that would let Neil soar, without flying completely away. 
• Mrs Marshall, Neil and Belinda, I am truly sorry. He will be missed.

  Listening now and I am so sorry...I knew Royal in the DeKalb College days of WOTA Radio in the early 1990s and even then we all knew he would be a star...The love Neal had for Royal is so real and sincere...He was a great man and will be missed...

  I am so very sorry to hear this very sad news. I wanted to say that I just loved him, his sense of humor and wit. He will be very much missed. I remember the times when Neal was out and he took over, I fell in love with him and actually did not miss Neal as much when he was at the wheel. Thank you Royal for the good memories. Rest in Peace.

• Struck with disbelief
  For years Neal, Belinda, and Royal have been my "morning family". I'm truly saddened by this news and I can't imagine what those at WSB, especially Neal and Belinda, must be feeling at this time. My prayers go out to all of Royal's family, friends and colleagues. Royal's death serves to remind me to appreciate every new day.

• Royal
  We are saddened by the news of Royal's death. We were listening to a rerun of Neal's show this morning. Neal spoke of how Royal and Belinda booked hotel rooms so they would get to work despite the snow and ice. Suddenly, there was the announcement that he died this morning.
• Royal was a man dedicated to his family, WSB and improving the lives of others.
• News of his death brought back memories of how Neal teased him so much while he was single and when he became engaged. Royal was so funny.
• Royal's gentle spirit will be missed.
• Family and friends have our heartfelt sympathy and prayers.
  By Belinda L. @ 01/15/11 02:46:11 PM

  I am so sorry to hear of this sudden, heart breaking news. I have been listening to Neal, Royal, and Belinda every day for 15 years. My heart is breaking for you all. Please know that my prayers and with you.

• the untimely loss of Royal
  As shocked and appalled as I am right now, I can't even begin to fathom the depths of loss for those close to Royal. His family, friends, and coworkers are in my thoughts. I hope there is an audio file somewhere with many clips of Royal and his work, especially "boo got shot" and the stories that he used to illustrate the difference between "damn" and "just damn." I'll never forget how he explained phonies as "perpetrating." I don't know if he was a drinking man, so I will just lift a favorite beverage in honor of his memory. RIP, Royal.

• Royal
  A few years ago, I was traveling through northern Virginia and stumbled on a talk show out of Atlanta. The host was Royal. He cracked me up and he kept saying, "This isn't the Neal Boortz Show." Every night I was on the road, I tried to catch his show. Then I started listening to that Boortz guy he mentioned and got to hear two fantastic radio guys on one show. 
• I am in tears because Royal was one of the good guys. He was an outstanding person with a wicked sense of humor and an amazing amount of compassion. 
• So sorry Neal, Belinda, Christina and the WSB family. I wish I could throw my arms around you guys right now.

  On one his Dr. Love seg,amts he took my call. He then suggested that no matter our spiritual differences of belief i should "snag", now my wife of 9 years, before someone else does because "she sounds like an amazing woman". For that I owe u more than I will ever own. We will be praying for his family and i will miss his wisdom that always lead me down the path of sensibility.

• And likewise to Neal, Belinda, Christina and all the rest of the staff at the Neal Boortz Show and WSB radio. You've lost a producer, a friend, and dare I say family member. So sorry for your loss. May God find a way to bring you peace through this difficult time.

• Shock and Sadness
  I was listening to WSB on my way to visit my Mom when at the top of hour at 12:00, Condace Pressley made the announcement. Tears of sadness flow from my eyes for the loss of Royal. Though I never met him, I enjoyed the banter between him, Neal and Belinda and truly feel that I have lost a long time friend. Royal had a great wit...one of my favorite memories of this wit was his "translation" of Boo Got Shot....I still laugh at it today so many years later. God bless Royal, his dear wife and precious little girls and of course Neal and Belinda and the rest of the WSB family. You will be missed Royal T.

  Sitting here crying as I feel that I've lost a close friend. Amazing how a single voice can touch you as much as Royal's did. His delightful chuckle and voice of loving reason took the sharp edge off of your (also much loved) voice, Neal. He brought a warmth to your show, Neal, that can never be replaced! Always welcomed his wise words and laugh that I loved. Had the privilege of listening to him from the beginning with you and feel as though I've lost my friend. He was loved and will be deeply missed by many, may his family have comfort knowing this, my prayers are with them.

• Just Damn! :)
  I am without words to describe how much I will miss his voice - and how well he kept Neal in line over the years. I started listening to Neal and Royal's own show too in 1997 - the year I bought an old 1965 ford (with no FM radio). It literally changed who I am. Since that day I have been a daily listener and really am not sure anyone can ever fill his shoes.

• RIP, Royal
  Neal is not exaggerating in his words about the loss of Royal Marshall. You could tell by their on-air banter that they genuinely cared about each other. When Neal was honored for whatever reason, he never failed to express his appreciation for Royal and Belinda. My condolences to his wife and young daughters.

• Royal Marshall's untimely passing
  I enjoy listening to Neal, Royal and Belinda discussing life's little stories. I listen on the Internet here in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, when I am able. I have always held Royal in high esteem. What a shock when you said he had passed away, although I don't remember hearing him on the air for a while. Was he unwell?
• Someone before me said always hug your family. You never know if it will be the last time. What good advice!
• I offer my sincere sympathies and condolences to all your families.

  I'm still in shock. I just found out about Royal's passing. Neal, Belinda and all the WSB family, I'm so sorry to hear of this. I always loved to hear Royal's input on the show. He came across as a nice guy and I would have loved to have known him. I will certainly remember his family in prayer, but also all of you who were close to him as well. R.I.P. Royal

• RIP Royal
  During those not-so-rare times that Royal was on the air you could tell he loved Neal and Belinda, and especially loved what he was doing. I will miss the banter between all of you...it was oftentimes hilarious!! But Royal spoke his mind and didn't insult while doing it. The world is better for him having been in it.

  I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Royal Marshall. It is always hard to lose someone you care about but to lose someone at such a young age, is devestating. I know he will be sorely missed by everyone who listens to Neal Boortz and has come to know Royal on the radio. My prayers and condolences go out to his wife and two young daughters as well as everyone who knew and loved him. He will leave a hole on the show that will be very difficult to fill.
