Mac graduated from John Marshall High School and attended the College of William and Mary. After two years at W&M, Mac joined the U.S Army Air Corps where he served in WWII in Japan and the Philippines.

Malcolm returned from the war and worked in Philadelphia, Pa. in Department of Social Services. Later, he moved back to Richmond, where he became Manager of Rental Properties for Phillips Hall Real Estate. Mac was a member of The Sons of The Revolution, Society of the Cincinnati, the Jamestown Society and member of St. James Church. He was a favored uncle who took time to organize multiple outings for his nieces and nephews including weekly horseback riding lessons at Bruce's Riding Academy as well as ice skating adventures in the winter. Mac's artistic ability was visible in many ways, especially when he created a beautiful snow sculpture of a woman in a long dress, which was photographed and published by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Mac loved to travel, collect antiques and research family ancestry. He had a phenomenal ability to quote family names, events and dates back to the days of King Charlemagne in the 700s AD. Most of all, Mac loved his family. He adored his children and grandchildren and remained close to all his nephews and nieces, especially Judy Stone Dixon, who assisted with his care. He will be remembered and loved by all.

Funeral service will be graveside at Hollywood Cemetery on April 27 at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Tunnel To Towers Foundation.
