Memories and Condolences
for Malcolm Marks
July 24, 2011
To a man I only knew a short time of his life. His true greatness only revealed to me after his passing. A man of authority, ambition and courage. I only wish I could have had one more chance for that fishing trip, BBQ or golf outing. Your character and legacy will live on with your children and theirs with good deeds for others and contributions to humanity.
For all of us who live free in this country we are eternally grateful for your service to country, love of family
and the example you gave us to live by.
In the end you made the world a better place from your life here. May God bless
you in heaven for eternity.
Forever in admiration,
Richard J Muehlenbrock

Liz, I still have the towels you and Malcom picked out for me one year as a Christmas gift. I recall being told, Malcolm thought the bright yellow reminded him of me, but I would have to say he was always warm, cheerful and sunny kind of man. Thinking of him, has always bright a smile to my face! Hugs to all.. take it one day at a time and know he is missed but the wonderful memories are NEVER far away.

I recall when my sis, Paige, said when she went to visit once and Malcom said, would you like a great shake from a French restrant, that restrant was Jacque in the Box as he said it in a french styled accent. Neat humor he had.
