Carol and boys: Debbie, Aaron and Elizabeth, and I are so sorry to hear of Malcolm's passing. The few hours we spent talking at your home just a couple months ago are so precious. Hopefully my travels will bring us by your way and we can sit in the porch swing and visit for a while. We trust God can give you some peace in your loss.

My sympathy goes out to Mac's Family. I went to high school with Mac at Covington and we were roommates our first 2 years in college. We haven't been in touch for several years but I will always remember him as a good friend....

There is no one better at selling 50/50 raffle tickets than Mac Randolph! I loved laughing with him at all the swim meets. He was a wonderful person with a huge heart! I will miss that I never had a martini with him. My love to Carol & boys. Maggie/Molly/Gabby/Hannah Raspopovich

Mac - what a great guy!! I've known Mac for years through Title One (reading) . We would meet up at conferences and meetings - and share our complaints about the system - then laugh them off with "Toddies" later. I will miss him and wish his boys and Carol the best in this hard time. Lori

I am so sorry to hear the news about Mac. He was a good friend and I enjoyed our years together at Kahler as well as the fun social gatherings. Mac was always a gentleman and a true professional. We all are better for having known Mac. My deepest regrets goes to his family.

Mac truly lived up to his childhood nickname, “Scrappy”, as he displayed such determination trying to overcome his illness. His concern and compassion for others will be missed by many. Goodbye, cousin.

We send our deepest condolances to Carol and the family...it was much too soon to lose him. Genuinely nice, with a smile for everyone, Mac will be missed. But our family is all the better for having him be a part of it.

Our Mac--always the first to see the humor in things--we'll miss that laughter. And always the first to call or drop a card during bad times. What a generous heart! The Silver Island cousins will miss him.

Goodbye to a fellow Covington High School friend. The class of 1965 was a class of ~96 members and so each was well known and important to all.

I am so sorry for the loss. I will always remember the times we spent together in the barn at the ole home place.

I remember Malcolm as a scrappy little boy and as a well-educated professional adult who loved family. His years on earth were too short, to be sure; but he managed to fill his life with wonderful experiences that his wife and sons will cherish and long remember. I'm glad he was my cousin.
