Marshall Sloane was much more than the visionary architect of Century Bank. He was our Dad. As we mourn his passing, we celebrate the close and loving relationship he had with his family. He taught us the value of working hard, doing the right thing, and serving the community. He always wanted the bank he founded to live long beyond his generation — and he insisted we do it in a way he would be proud of. Dad’s wisdom, compassion, generosity and kindness will be remembered by his family, the thousands of employees who worked at Century over the past 50 years, and the countless people whose lives he touched over his long and extraordinary life.
Barry R. Sloane and Linda Sloane Kay
My daughter and I were lucky enough to have lunch with Mr. Sloane and his son Barry after my daughter received a scholarship from Century Bank. Mr. Sloane graciously hosted the recipients at a personal luncheon he held. He spoke to all the young adults and us parents as if we were family around his dinner table. It was quite impressive and we were honored to be his guests. I later learned that my dad worked for him as a boy. He would knock on doors and collect money from those that had loans from him. My dad said he was quite a guy. From that lunch I learned to enjoy seeing Mr. Sloan on his commercials. He was a class act and a very kind and generous man. We received much more than a scholarship that day. Thank you Mr. Sloane, may you rest in peace.
