My name is Kirk Rose & I worked at the Villages for 20 yrs & in my time there I was able to meet Mr Maltbie & became friends. He was one of the nicest guys I knew out there & he  & his buddy Gene Menges used to crack me up. I'm gonna really miss that man he was always good to me. The one thing I remember the most was he wrote me a really nice letter of recommendation & I believe that's what got me my job at San Jose State. My only regret was one of my bucket list things to do was play a round of golf with him & his son Roger but I never got that chance. I really did love that man he was a good friend to me. R I P old friend. I'm really gonna miss you. One of my best days with him was a day I was playing golf on the short 9 at the Villages with youngest son. I looked over to #4 Tee & there was lin playing with Roger. So I went over to say hi like I always did whenever I saw him out on the course & he introduced his son Roger to me & my son & we were both so excited that we were both  walking off the ground after that ,what a great day. My son & I were so excited to meet Roger. My condolences I'm so sorry he's gone. 

I played golf with Lin many times.  We were in a group which included Gene Menges, Bill Beardsly, and a number of other players filling out the foursome.  Lin was always my partner.  We never lost, but sometimes we were tied.  I have been to his home in the Villages many times.  He was always so gracious to me, and I absolutely loved the man.  What a loss.  He told me, however, about a year or so ago, that he had had a great life, and when it was time for him to go, he was ready.
