John, Kathy, Charmaine,
It was an honor to be taken in by Coach Mallee. From age 13 until I graduated college he treated me like part of the family. I would not have a 20+ year baseball coaching career if it were not for him. I enjoyed every minute of extra work, road trips, camps and travel ball that he helped me be a part of. He will be missed, but his legacy lives on in so many he helped along the way.

Mr. Mallee was a great role model and I was fortunate to have him as a mentor when I started by career with CPD.
I really enjoyed coaching baseball with and against him many years ago. My condolences to his entire family.

My heart goes out to the Mallee family. Mr. Mallee(Zim) treated me like his own when I was an up and coming baseball player and could not have succeeded as far as I did without his tutelage. He was a great man and cared about his family and community. He will be missed!!
