I will always cherish the memories of just stopping by to chat. If I was feeling a little down that day he always had a way of cheering me up and I always felt more upbeat when I left.

With deepest sympathy,

I will always fondly remember the night in 1984 that the businesses downtown were having a Christmas Open House. Malcolm knew that Steve and I were looking for an engagement ring which we could afford. He saw us at a Hospitality Room where refreshments were being served and invited us to his store to look at some estate jewelry he had just gotten from Texas. He showed us a beautiful wedding ring set which we instantly loved but knew would be out of our price range. He made us an offer we couldn't refuse, and I love my wedding rings! I can't look at them without being grateful to Malcolm for helping us find something so beautiful. We want all the family to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
May God richly bless you and give you comfort.

I knew him through my company, Herbert Goldberg Co, as well as our mutual friends, the Goddards's in Booneville. Mr. Malcolm was a special person. Everytime we spoke on the phone he was always upbeat and confident and we would chat for a LONG time before business ever came around. He always invited me to come down to meet him when I would travel to Booneville and I am very sorry that I never did. He will be missed, but his memory will be cherished. God Bless!
