C. Charles Marran, 90, former president of the Spencer Shoe Co. in Boston, MA, died on December 7 following a brief illness. He began his lengthy career at the tender age of six when a neighbour helped him find a job sweeping out a shoe store in Chicago, where he worked his way up to manager. A recruiter from Spencer Shoes noticed Mr Marran and invited him to go to Boston and join Spencer in the late 1930s.
