Eleven years now and I still remember him and can just smile. Nice man. Smart. Kind. And oh, so funny! All the best to his family.

Shocked to hear of Malcolm's death. He was a great friend for many years. Met him at Marco Polo's in Summit one night. He got me a place in his complex and friendship bloomed until I moved south. Condolences to the family. Malcolm will be remembered always. He had friends everywhere.

Malcolm was a wonderful friend and fun to be with...always had a humorous thing to say--even in hard times. Very bright, intelligent, and witty. Prayers for Mrs. Astor-Forbes, to his sisters in England and to his loved ones. He will always be remembered with a smile.

Malcolm was a close and trust-worthy friend to me when I was living in New Jersey. I am saddened by his loss and grateful for the support he gave me at a difficult time and the great fun we had.

We knew Malcolm very well. we met in 1970 and lost contact around 2001 after he left Summitt. We had so many good times together in Belleville, Bloomfield, Summitt. John was his sponsor for becoming a citizen. He was a very remarkable human being. I wish we had not lost contact, when he left Summit, we had no address. He will be missed greatly. We were good friends 30 years. If his companion would like to contact us via email [email protected] would appreciate it. John Beil and Jessica...
