In Memory of Malcolm McCormack ~
On Thursday, October 2, 2025, Malcolm McCormack passed away at the age of 97.
Born March 6, 1928, Malcolm's 97 year legacy is that of being the BEST FARMER EVER! That is the reply when we asked our farmers in this community.
Malcolm was the kindest man with a list of accomplishments in a broad array of activities. An Army Veteran, UC Davis and UC Berkely graduate, and a loving community member.
As a neighbor, Malcolm always made sure Patti Rogerson feel special as she passed his house on her daily walks. Patti is very sad and will miss him.
Memorial Information:
