I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of a dear sweet man such as Mr. Bill Malachias. I met Mr. Malachias and his lovely wife Evangeline while working at the LSU School of Dentistry where he was a longtime patient. He was one of the kindest sweetest human beings I ever had the pleasure of meeting. I will always remember his infectious smile and caring nature. To the family, I pray that God will give you the strength to face the difficult days ahead. You can take comfort in knowing Mr. Malachias was a man who touched the lives of everyone with his kind spirit. May God Bless You

May His Memory Be Eternal. His gracious smile and loving nature brought him many friends from Louisiana to California and beyond. He was such a dear friend. Bill touched so many lives and will be greatly missed. He loved God and his Church, and his dear Vange more than anything. He loved his family, his friends, his neighbors and his Greek and Icarian Heritage. Be at peace dear friend. I will always remember our times together with family and friends and sharing those last moments with you. May God's blessings be with you forever.
