Penny Barrett '67
Friend and classmate
Malcolm has been a best friend for over 45 years and will continue to be a best friend because what he taught me continues to shape my choices and actions every day. Malcolm lives within each of us who had the privilege to be blessed by his humility and wisdom.

Kindness is a rare commodity, but Malcolm had it in spades, and he gave it to everyone he met. Malcolm’s presence was a blessing: he enriched my life with a smile, with a kind word, with a thoughtful inquiry about my family, my day. I will miss his generous spirit and kind soul, as well as his humor.

Dear Lewis Family members and members of the Harvey Mudd College Community:
On behalf of the Engineering Visitors Committee at Mudd, I would like to offer my deepest condolences to the Lewis Family.
Mr. Malcolm Lewis ’67 was a dear friend and colleague, who will be sorely missed.
Malcolm served the College in multiple capacities, including Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Trustee, Fellowship sponsor, and sustainability champion, and he was always happy to volunteer to help the college in many ways. In addition to his generous financial support, Malcolm was always eager to support any initiative and committee in order to make Mudd a better place.
As a member of the EVC, Malcolm always had fresh ideas, including the zeal and energy to work with the community in order to enhance the educational experience that the college creates. He was always available to take on any challenge, and always brought fresh ideas, patience, kindness, and solutions to any situation.
May his memory be with us and guide us to continue to do good for the community.

Friend and Colleague
I am saddened and humankind is diminished by the passing of Malcolm Lewis. Malcolm was a wonderful, intelligent, generous and loving person, who enjoyed life, his family, and his career. He was always soft-spoken, and always pursuing perfection knowing full well that compromise would be needed to succeed.
I worked with Malcolm on a number of design projects, and he was always upbeat and support of new ideas that would improve the performance of the project.
Malcolm you are and will be missed.
God bless you, and your family.
