Uncle Mal. I have always admired the spirit of a leader that was always so evident. Even though I knew little about your accomplishments until I became a young adult, I somehow sensed that you were a man to be admired and respected. Growing up with only a few uncles, I'm so grateful that you were one of them. You were and always will be a model of the life hard work and vision can provide. Although you left this world unexpectedly, I feel blessed that I was able to see and hug you one last time. May you rest in peace Uncle Mal. Your niece, Janelle.

I was a classmate of Malchester my senior year at St. Lucy's Academy in Syracuse, NY. Although I had not seen him for a number of years, I have great memories of him as a classmate and teammate and friend.

To his family, I know this is a time of incredible grief and sorrow. But, somehow when the saddness subsides a bit, you will be comforted by the wonderful memories of the good times you shared together and the certain knowledge that his love for each of you...is eternal.

Audrey,

I am very sorry to hear of Malchester's (Sonny) homegoing. I will truly miss him, especially during our family reunion preparations. He had a kind and generous spirit and he will continue to live in my heart.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
