Malcolm was a kind and gentle soul. Always. From the time I met him as a freshman at Harvey Mudd to our last college class reunion.
Last year, as I was leaving a party at an alumnae’s house, I said good by to him and asked how things were. He very gently told me, and I was impressed by his strength and honesty. He said he did not think he would make another reunion. He had grace.
I remember lots of laughs and fun times with him. The freshman engineering project on LA traffic, not so much, but I was a chemist, not an engineer. He was just the kind of nice person we all want to be.Strong, solid, honest. He was liked by all. I will miss him. And I am better for having known him.

Malcolm was my classmate
Malcolm and I arrived at HMC, eager 18 year olds in beanies, on the same day. One impressive mudder! I was always glad that he was able to give so much of his time, energy, and spirit to HMC.

Former fellow members, Harvey Mudd Board of Trustees
Malcolm was one of my favorite fellow Trustees. His dedications to Harvey Mudd was exemplary and his kindness, thoughtfulness always impressed me. I loved to work with him at Mudd and was always overjoyed when we were assigned to the same committees. He was as genuine as they came. Though he often spoke his mind, forcefully at times, he never raise his voice and always did it with class and dignity, explaining his positions and ideas patiently so we all could understand. As a result he often prevailed and Mudd benefited.
I personally was a recipient of his kindness and thoughtfulness as right after I left the Board, he immediately emailed me, sent his best wishes and suggested we kept in touch. I knew it was genuine when we kept in touch as he promised. He even introduced me to Facebook and we corresponded. He was such a great leader that anyone of us would be happy to go to war for him, me included.
I miss you Malcolm and you will be greatly missed by your family, friends and Harvey Mudd.
God bless you and rest in peace.

I first met Malcolm on a trip to the Huntington Library when I was a student. One of the things we discussed were my plans to join the Peace Corps after graduation. Several months later, when I was applying for a summer job at CTG, the first question in my interview was “So what about Peace Corps?” After a summer working for CTG, he sent me off to Nepal with “CTG International” business cards, committed to supporting me in whatever way he could.
I was blessed to have known Malcolm. Professionally, he built a company that is at the forefront of sustainable design, working to make the world a better place. Personally, he was one of the most intelligent, caring, and honest individuals I have known.

I had the great pleasure to work alongside Malcolm for over six years in the Forensics area. He was one of the most respected and in demand experts for MEP in the country. He consistently amazed me at his ability to retain complex details on multi cases given his extremely busy schedule. He also possessed a terrific sense of humor and we had a delightful, ongoing “battle of wits” on a regular basis. He was a consumate gentleman who will be sorely missed!
