I want to send my sincere condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Mr. Malec. I am a co-worker of Helen Malec. I was fortunate to meet him during a stay in his boat house cabin one summer. I thought he was one of the sweetest men I have ever met and his home and grounds at Gull Lake were incredible - a true work of love and it gave insight into the wonderful caring man he was. You are all blessed to have known and loved him and to be loved by him. Barb Rondeau - Posted by: Barb Rondeau (Acquaintance) on: Sep 04, 2008
