He established strong bonds with clients throughout the world. His pride was the Nelson Rarities catalogue, published annually. An avid reader, Malcolms interests included mysteries, music, history, and sports. He loved intellectual games. A former ball player himself, his favorite team of all was the Boston Red Sox. From his days at Milton Academy and Harvard University and throughout his life, Malcolm will be remembered as an individualist, always with a smile and positive attitude, generous and loyal to a fault, and typically attired in white bucks, a colorful tie, blue or white blazer, and Panama hat.

Malcolm -- you were a great guy and a good friend. We liked to disagree. Martha and family, I am sorry for your untimely loss. I was with you in spirit at the funeral and was glad to hear that so many from the Milton class of '73 were there in the flesh.
All condolences and best wishes to you.

My heart was truly shattered when I learned of Malcolm's untimely passing. He was my mentor as well as my dear, dear friend for over 15 years. I will miss our almost-weekly conversations filled with his sharp wit, his quirky sense of humor, his unbelievable love of all things beautiful, his generous spirit, and his absolute belief that the Boston Sox are better than the STL Cards! I will regret forever the fact that we never met, but I feel so blessed to have "known" such a wonderful man. My sincere condolences to Polly, Martha, Andrew and David. Shine like the sun, Mr. Logan, and rest easy in the palm of His hand...you were a one of the greatest gifts in my life, and I will never forget you.

Malcolm had the grace of Mickey Lolich on the mound while endorsing the politics of Curt Schilling. A bon vivant and a nice guy, who will be sorely missed.
My condolences to family and friends.

I had the distinct pleasure of being Malcolm's employee for several years at Nelson Rarities. I'll remember him as being quick to smile, overly generous, an empowering teacher, and a talented raconteur. Thanks for everything you gave to me, Malcolm.

So sad to read that a Milton Academy "73 classmate has passed. I remember Malcomb because we were the few (4 of us in total) members of the Milton " Republican Party" and we were very loyal during our Reagan days (Remember Reagan took all 49 states except Mass.) Malcomb was a truly nice schoolmate, smart, well mannered, highly intelligent, and friendly to all-boys school and girls school. Gay Wilson Class'73 My sympathies to the Logan family.
