Not sure what to say?

I think of Mr Malkames often. I haven’t never met anyone quite like him. I miss him.


So kind and lovely a man. I met him back in around the mid '70s when I waittressed on the Allentown school board meetings at the then Sheraton Hotel. Bill was always so kind and personable so much so one can never forget him. Journey well, your kindness and genorosity will always be remembered.

Bill was a good friend. He helped us many years ago when we started our business.
Condolences to the entire Malkames family.

Bill Malkames was not only my attorney he was also my friend. He was always there to help when others couldn´t or wouldn´t. He had empathy for the common man´s tribulations. The smile tells it all; a rascal till the very end of a life well lived for others.

Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.

The Lehigh Valley has lost one of its greats. He was ever the gentleman to me, whether we on opposite sides of a case, or the same side. I was fortunate enough to learn a lot from watching him work, and even making him laugh once or twice. I offer my most sincere condolences to the family.

Lori, so sorry for your loss.

Our deepest condolences to the Malkames Family. It was an honor to have known Atty. William G. Malkames. He was and endearing, witty and wonderful person. May his soul rest in peace.
