On Sunday May 17th, 2020 our loving father, grandfather and great grandfather passed away at the age of 88. Ronald A. Malcolm (aka Ronny/Ron) was born on November 21th, 1931 in Colon Republic of Panama to Wilfred and Lucille Malcolm. He studied and received his formal education in both Jamaica West Indies and Colon Panama, at Calabar High School and Abel Bravo High School respectively. He further enriched his education by taking long distance college courses through La Salle Extension University. Ron’s career spans from Pfizer Pharmaceutical Corp. in Colon Panama, as an accountant and ended with his retirement from Metropolitan Hospital in New York, as a Human Resources Hospital Administrator. Ronald, married the love of his life June Legister on July 4th, 1953 together they raised four children, Mercedes, Barbara, Livia and Miguel. Ronny, enjoyed playing video games especially when he was in competition with someone else. He was an aficionado of good music, and was very good at public speaking. He was preceded in death by his wife June, parents Wilfred and Lucille, his brother Roy and two sons Reynaldo and Miguel. Ron is survived by his three daughters Mercedes, Barbara, and Livia, four grandchildren and six great grandchildren, three brothers, two sisters and a sister-in-law. We appreciate each and every one for remembering our father, and we know that he would have been honored to know how many people are paying their respects not only in person but also those who are streaming via the internet.
