Mr. Malcolm was a great guy - one of the coolest people that you ever met. He always spoke to me as if I was an adult when I was a kid. I have many fond memories of him on Grove/Spring Avenues in Glen Ellyn; swimming in his or the Hunts pool, four wheeling in the woods, driving him around in his Corvette, etc. What a great couple he and Darrah were and forever will be. I always think of him when I hear the locusts chirping in late August - he said that is how you know summer is almost over. Mr. Malcolm will be sorely missed by everyone that loved him.
