I don't know if you will ever see this as it has been so long since the funeral. While looking up family names tonight just for something to do I stumbled across Malcolm's obit. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I am positive he will surely be missed by all. At the earliest opportunity I will tell Mom and the rest of your Michigan family.
Love to all

We are so sorry to hear of Malcolm's passing. I has been so long since we have seen you & Mal, but you have often been in our thoughts. We will remember his smile and all the help he gave us while we were neighbors.

Jean,Karl,Mom Klught,Gloria & families:
Was so sorry to hear about your dad. I have so many good memories w/your family when you all moved here to the Point. I remember your dad being so serious when he "reminded me" about things growing up as a teenager, but gosh, the next minute that infectious smile would just beam on him. I will truly miss him, and know he is in the next best world waiting for the rest of us to join him.
If you are in or near WP, please get in touch w/me via email.
