Employed Malcolm as an Engineering Expert in litigation

Malcolm was not only one of the most competent engineering experts I have encountered and worked with in the past twenty years, he was a personable and caring individual. He actively encouraged me to have my daughter, Caelle, apply to HMC, due to her strong interest in engineering. Caelle will be doing so this year, given his advice, through the CMC/HMC 3+2 program. The field and the HMC community has lost a strong advocate for competency and civility. However, Malcolm’s work at HMC will live on.

鈥淎 good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold鈥� (Proverbs 22:1). Malcolm had a good name and he was esteemed by so many people. I had the privilege of working with Malcolm for 27 years and I can say unequivocally that God has blessed me through him. I miss Malcolm now, but I will see him again on the other side!
Rest in peace, dear Malcolm!

Lewis Fellow at CTG and Friend

There are people who have a profound impact on others without trying just through their actions and the honesty and vigor with which they pursue what they do. Malcolm was that person. I didn’t know him well when I started as a Lewis Fellow at CTG, and was intimidated just by the fact that he was the CEO and this amazing figure in sustainability. But from day one, he came over with that infectious, genuine smile and invited me to lunch. And unlike others in his position, he meant it. From then on, every time we had lunch he would listen, honestly interested in what I was doing. He gave advice and became one of my most valued mentors. He was never too busy to stop and chat and never too involved with bigger things to care about anyone from HMC, CTG, or any of his other communities. He built communities around himself and valued the interactions with us all. His devotion to giving back was inspiring to me and anyone who knew him.

I know that I’ll miss him greatly, but his lessons carry forward in those who he touched.

I had the extreme privilege of meeting Malcolm in the early 1980s and working together, for and with him off and on since then. I remember clearly Malcolm’s MLA offices upstairs from the drugstore at Main and Forest Streets across PCH from main beach in downtown Laguna Beach. At that time, Malcolm was mentoring a group of young and enthusiastic engineers and scientists in his mechanical, electrical and plumbing design firm; and that role of mentor to young and old continued for his entire career.

Malcolm, Cindy, my wife and I became dear friends and have continued seeing one another, even after our professional paths diverged. In our professional lives together, Malcolm reached out on several occasions when I was in financial or professional distress and lifted me up with his love, kindness, and a position; of these times, I will be forever grateful. Malcolm was truly a man of honor and faith whom I have witnessed at countless times and in many ways helping others as he helped me.

Dear Cindy, Mary and I picture Malcolm’s smile now and look forward to seeing it again.

Family friend

Malcolm and my brother were close friends in high school and used to engage in marathon games of Risk in our basement. I was always in awe of him, he was so smart… and so tall! It is a joy to have known him… he will be so greatly missed by all who had that privilege.

I didn’t know Malcolm very long, however I am forever touched by his transparency, honesty, and loving nature.

Friend and colleague

I feel so lucky to have had Malcolm as part of my life during my time as president at HMC. He was one of the kindest and most loving people I have ever know. He loved the college with all his heart, and did everything he could to help all those involved whether students, faculty, staff, alumni or trustees. Malcolm, I miss you every day.
