I knew Malcolm through the Insurance Industry and always appreciated the honest and humble approach he took in all situations. In the latter years, Malcolm was in the Broker end and I was in the Company end and enjoyed working with him in those roles. My sincere condolences to Malcolm's entire family. Being away for the winter, I won't be able to attend the gathering in March but my thoughts are with you all.
