I remember Ron from our North Catholic days. Besides being one of the most talented and accomplished young musicians from that time, I remember him as beings free spirit. He had a sense of humor, he was fun to be with as a pal and someone with the same interests such as performing music and playing drums. He was admired by his friends and colleagues for his musical abilities and fun personality. Along with his family he is sorely missed by us, his friends.

So sorry to hear of Ron's passing. I knew Ron from high school. A great drummer/percussionist. Played the upright bass as well. I learned a lot from him as a fellow musician in the marching band/orchestra and jazz band. Rest in peace, Ron.

So sorry to hear of Ron's passing. I always enjoyed being in his company. There were many nights at Ortliebs Jazzhaus that we closed the place. Also enjoyed the times we got to play music together. I'll miss him. My condolences to the Malach family.

Ron was a talented musician from a talented musical family. He was a senior at North and I was there as a freshman with his brother Bob. Ron was the skilled bass player in the jazz band and I was fortunate to be a part of that band along with his Bob, Mike Mee,, Joe Nero, Tony Vigilante, and Joe Fallon, and others. As a family, the four brothers, with Ray & Rich, probably put on quite a performance when they were together and wish I could have heard them play. I'm sure music provided Ron & his family many warm memories. Treasure them. My sincerest condolences to Ron and his family. Sincerely, Bob Moskal

Dear Malach family,
I was shocked to hear of Ron's passingly,I met Ron in the band at Noth Catholic.An amazing musician, he would dazzle you on the drums and then play great bass.
He came from a very talented musical family and i think Ron was one of Philly's best kept secrets.

I am saddened to have heard of Ron's passing. I've known Ron and the Malach family since 1967. Ron was one of the most musically talented people I have ever known. I am very sorry for his passing and I offer the condolences of my family to his family, to his brothers Ray and Bob as well as their families.
Sincerely,
Tony Vigilante
