Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Mal was in the ROAA not the MOAA. He was in the Retired officers association of america…He often accidently emailed me as my late father’s email address was like jelliott. Mal is a true american hero… SO few like him gave so much to all of us…… We owe men like Mal our freedom. Mal was an Officer and a Gentleman by order of Congress. And by his sacrifice. (Mal and my father new each other as well..) My father new him in the ROAA
With deepest sympathy to Fran and her family.
My thoughts and prayers are with Fran and family.
I remember Mal as a dedicted member of the Board of Directors of the Wichita Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) a few years back. Mal was involved with publicity and was one of the best. He will be missed and will be in our prayers. Sincerely, Frank Sisson
