Judy,
My deepest sympathy to you and your daughters. The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. My heart goes out to you all.

Dear Judy, Cathy, Caroline and Christina,
Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of Malcolm. I remember visiting you in your first home, passing Malcolm on the running trail in Edgebrook and hearing many wonderful family stories from Jill. We will continue to offer prayers during this difficult period. All our love, Don, Vicky and Van Martin

Judy and Girls,
Malcolm and I were at Auckland University together back in the late 60s. In fact we also shared hostel life for a couple of years being in O'Rorke Hall together. He was a great companion who was always ready to share in a yarn, a joke and a drink. A group of us went down to Hamilton for his 21st birthday and I well recall the event...it was the first time I had ever seen a yard glass. I seem to recall that Malcolm made a good fist of that...without getting drowned.

We both worked in freezing works during our Christmas holidays to set up a bit of a nest egg to see us right over the coming year. We seemed to share a similar world view and indeed Malcolm always held a good deal of respect for his common man. I recall that as drinking buddies we tended to avoid the student bar at the local watering hole, The Kiwi. The Public Bar was the place where we would be more likely to find the sort of guys we worked with in our Christmas break. We were asked one time what type of work we did. We replied that we were students. And we took more than a little pride from the retort "Students? You look like ordinary buggers to me!"

In more recent times it was great to be able to catch up again in Chicago and meet you all. Such a fine family...and I also met your lovely parents, Judy. Thank you for your hospitality at that time.

I have always been so impressed with how you all were able to look after Malcolm so well during his long illness. While we have been preparing for this day for such a long time, it nevertheless still comes as quite a blow.

May you rest in peace Malcolm. Haere, Haere, Haere atu ra....e moe

Girls and Judy,

What a sweet and wonderful person Malcolm was and will be greatly missed.
My first memories of him were when Judy, Pam, Jill and myself would be working on some project in the den of the old house for Girl Scouts. He would come in and say hello to us all and offer me the worst coffee I had ever drank. I would give him a hard time because it looked and tasted like dirty water (it was so weak). And how he loved to EAT anything CHOCOLATE. When I think of him I think of his love for chocolate.I didn't think anyone could love it more than me, but Malcolm did.
He was someone that I am very glad to have known in my life time. May he rest in peace. He will be missed.

To Malcolms family: The news of Malcolm's death has both saddened me and brought back fond memories of our times together at OSU.
I had the pleasure of sharing a house with "Kiwi" (as we knew him) for one semester. He was very gracious in putting up my oddities and most of all my love at the time, my dog, Sammy Lane. Kiwi also joined me for a Christmas vacation to visit my now deceased sister and family in Louisiana and back via Arkansas and Springfield, Mo. His presence certainly made this trip more enjoyable.
Malcolm was a great person. I extend my sympathy to the family and I trust that his offspring will continue his contribution to humanity.

Judy and girls: Ceal and I were deeply saddened to hear news of Malcolm's death. We have many good memories of happy times with Malcolm during grad school days at Oklahoma State.
One memory I have is of Malcolm in the first car he bought after coming to the US. It was an old timer ... not sure of the model, but the design was similar to a model T Ford. He took me for a ride out to Lake Carl Blackwell in it. On the way back in to Stillwater, the brakes failed on the edge of town. Fortunately we were favored by the traffic lights, and we were able to roll on in till we were in the city.
Shortly after that, Malcolm bought a newer car. The first summer he had it, he badly wanted to do an extended trip in it and he invited me to go. We drove east through Arkansas, Tennessee, the Carolinas, and up the east coast all the way to New York city. I did most of the driving, since Malcolm wanted to shoot pictures all the time. When he would miss taking a picture of the "WELCOME TO STATE X" sign, he would have me go back around so that he could snap a picture of the sign.
Whenever I go to New York, I have fond memories of he and I driving up and down Broadway in New York city, scared that we would get crushed between yellow cabs at any tick of the clock. In fact, when I was in NY about 2 weeks ago, I sent Malcolm a postcard reminding him of that trip. I hope he was well enough when it arrived for him to comprehend the message.
Malcolm and I also had our share of late nights at the bar to swill a couple of beers after studying in the statistics department.
Rest in peace, old mate. You and your family are in our thoughts.

Judy and Family,

My deepest condolences. Although I did not know your husband, he sounds like a wonderful man. I am sorry for your loss and trust that your shared memories will give you great comfort.

My thoughts are with you.
