I would like to extend my most sincere condolences to the Malkin family for their tremendous loss. Professor Malkin has been and continues to be an inspiration to me in my personal and professional life. Throughout the seven years that I benefitted from his direct instruction to me and Steve's guidance and counsel in the many years since, his unflappable composure and keen insight have shaped and honed my career and my life. I very much treasure that our time together will always be present with me on my journey.

To the family of Stephen Malkin (and specially Maccabit) - I was saddened to hear the news of Steve's passing which happened while we were at the CIRP meeting in Copenhagen - a group Steve was an active member, and leader, of for many years. I am remembering the many many times I interacted with Steve and Maccabit at meetings, dinners, and other occasions all over the world- so many great memories of an exceptionally talented, loving and extremely humorous and clever man. So many friends are so sad at this news. It is not very often that one is blessed to share some time with such special individuals. It is a great loss to his family and, for sure, a huge number of other great friends of Steve. My deepest sympathies to Maccabit and Steve's family.

I have fond memories of a young Stephen, his lovely wife Maccabit, and his towering intellect. The global community is diminished.

My deepest condolences to the entire Malkin family. It's with great pride and joy that I cherish my memories of "baap" - a second father to many a graduate student including me. RIP Prof. Malkin.

Dear Celia and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Stephen. I am glad to have seen him at your mom's party. I can't attend the service as I recently had surgery.
My thoughts are with you.
Love,

I was one of the privileged few to be a Graduate student under the tutoring of Prof. Malkin. He was a very soft spoken and gentle person who could be easily approached for guidance. Under his guidance, I made tremendous progress both on professional and personal front for which I will always be grateful to him.
My thoughts and prayers with Prof. Malkin's family and friends in this difficult time.

Steve was a wonderful colleague and friend whose office was right across the hallway from mine. Over the years we had many discussions and sat on many committees together. In all the years I knew Steve I never heard him say a negative thing about a faculty member. He always looked for the good in the faculty and emphasized their positive contributions.
When young, new faculty joined the department he was always there to give them advice and help them get their careers started. We'll all miss you Steve.

Very sad news that Steve has passed away and a great loss to the UMAss community. I have great memories of Steve who was instrumental in my hiring at the MIE department, was a wonderful colleague and a friend, supported me throughout my career, and always loved chatting about Israel-related issues (including planning the next trip…). Steve was a gentlemen with a generous, unselfish nature. He was a brilliant, internationally known researcher who achieved at the highest level of his profession. Steve had an amazing capacity to deal with problems; you would never see him get flustered or upset, yet somehow, magically, everything got resolved.
Steve's memory will always live on. Those of us who had the privilege and pleasure of working with him have greatly benefited from the advice he was always ready to give during his time at UMass and even after his retirement
My family and I would like to express our deepest condolences to Maccabit and his extended family.
Thanks very much Steve. We will miss you.
