REMEMBERING ROBERT T. "BOB" MARSHALL

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 24 (Tuesday, February 3, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 24 (Tuesday, February 3, 2026)] [Senate] [Pages S467-S468] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] REMEMBERING ROBERT T. ``BOB'' MARSHALL Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the life of Professor Robert T. ``Bob'' Marshall, a beloved member of the Columbia community, an educator at the University of Missouri, and a Tiger whose legacy continues to bring joy to generations of Missourians. Dr. Marshall dedicated his life to the institution he loved. After earning his PhD in dairy science microbiology from the University of Missouri, Dr. Marshall joined the faculty and shaped the future of food science, mentoring countless students as a leader in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, CAFNR. But beyond his research and teaching, it was the way Dr. Marshall made people feel that defines his enduring legacy. No tradition captures the spirit of Dr. Marshall's impact more than the annual Tiger Walk. Each fall, first-year students gather beneath the iconic columns to mark their entry into the Mizzou family. And at the heart of this rite of passage is a scoop of Tiger Stripe ice cream. Invented by Dr. Marshall, Tiger Stripe has become more than just a dessert; it is a memory shared by every new Tiger joining the Mizzou family. The people of Columbia knew Dr. Marshall not just as a professor, but as a neighbor, a mentor, and a friend. He poured his heart into his work and into his community, and the impact of that devotion is still felt today. [[Page S468]] I am proud to honor Dr. Marshall's life of service, mentorship, and innovation. He embodied the very best of the Show-Me spirit, and I am grateful for the mark he left on Missouri, on Mizzou, and on all of us who call ourselves Tigers. ____________________
