I would like to express my sympathy to the wonderful children of Dr. Robert Malench. I had the privilege of being their French teacher. May Dr. Malench rest in peace and may the children be consoled by all their wonderful family memories. What a wonderful family.

Dr Robert Malench was my family practitioner for many years. A genuine, caring person. Such a loss. My condolences to his family and loved ones.

Dr. Robert Malench was an excellent physician and a wonderful person and friend. Over the years of our relationship, Jane and I went from addressing him as Dr. Malench, to Dr. Robert, to Dr. Bob, and to Bob, as our friendship progressed from professional to personal.
When Bob first retired, he joined the Tuesday Morning Group at the Stephenson House. The group does cleanup and minor repairs followed by coffee and conversation. The conversations are always wide ranging and Bob enjoyed them immensely. He had eclectic interests: politics, history, art, architecture, and books.
With a dry and subtle sense of humor, Bob could always find a humorous way to express an opinion or idea. When he first thought about joining the Tuesday Morning Group, he asked what we would be doing. We told him that it would be cleaning, repairs, and lots of painting. On his first day, we had to move all of the items from two large trailers to a new storage area. The trailers were full of doors, windows, baseboards, trim, fireplace mantels, and all of the other items salvaged from the Stephenson House. It was a cold and cloudy day, and it was a dirty job that took most of the day. At the end, he made only one comment: I thought we did a lot of painting!
At our Tuesday morning meetings, Bob always closed the meeting with a new joke. A lot of them were very funny and a lot of them were really corny, but Bob was such a good storyteller that, no matter how bad the joke was, it was always entertaining.
Bob was a kind and gentle man, a great friend, and a very good person. We shall miss him.
Jane and Sid Denny

we are going to miss you and love you

Dr. Robert was my doctor for many years. He truly did care for his patients and I was glad I had the privilege of having him as my physician. Rest in peace Dr. Robert.

I had the privilege of doing volunteer work with Dr. Bob at the Stephenson House until he was no longer able to. He was a joy to work with, hopeful he would be able to come back and re-join our group, and only later did I find out what an amazing doctor he was, and how highly he was respected in the community. Dr. Bob was a modest man, and has been missed by our Tuesday group; I think we are better people for having known him. My heart and prayers go out to his family on the loss of such a wonderful person.
