So sorry to hear about uncle Malcom's passing. I have alot of memories from childhood of him sending us the latest candy, like the whole case of Pop Rocks. Glad to have gotten to hang out with him a few times in more recent years, at the reunion in Arkansas and the visits to Maryland with katherine. Wish I could be there to give hugs. Take care

I think Malcolm was one the best bosses you could ever have. I loved working for him at Hunt & Taylor. I know he will be missed so much by all of his family because he was such a great family man. I don't think in all the time I worked for him he was ever in a bad mood & always had a smile for everyone. What a great man. My heart & prayers go out to his family & this sad time.
Sincerely,
Pat Biondo
Mac was a good, hardworking man, always smiling. I never saw him frown. When they bought the old Lee Love Brokeridge,Mac took me to their "new" offices to show me around. The company cars were high mileage, the office equipement was old, and the typewriters (typewriters!!)didn't work. He laughed it off, and proceeded to build a very good business. I took a life-lesson from that. I will miss him.
So sorry to hear about Uncle Malcolm. He was a wonderful person and I always looked forward to our visits. He will be missed by many. You are all in my thoughts and prayers and know he is in a much better place looking out for you all.
I met Mac when I first came to Houston with Procter&Gamble.
We covered pretty much the same area and so met often. When Mac and Bob Hunt left to run their own business P&G lost two excellent managers. Visited with Mac at Bob Hunt's funeral, but never thought Id be attending his. He was a friendly, pleasant guy and made many friends. May he rest in peace and may his family remember all the good things about him. He will be missed.
My friendship with Mac goes back to the Proctor &
Gamble days for Mac and Bob Hunt. I also spent my grocery
career as a food broker, working my way up to owner of my firm just like Mac did! I could always count on Mac for that cheerful smile of his, and his positive attitude. Mac was one of the few people I really enjoyed working with as a friendly broker/competitor.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Warmest personal regards,
Mike K. Williams
My heart aches to hear of Uncle Malcolm's passing. I have so many fond memories from my childhood of Uncle Malcolm & Aunt Ginger and all of the kids. What great times we all had @ the beach house. He always had pop rocks & orange sodas waiting for me when we arrived. I think often of the jeep rides along the beach shore and the long walks looking for shark teeth with he and Aunt Ginger (I still have them in a treasure box after 30+ years) My most precious memory is dancing with Uncle Malcolm at my wedding, when he asked me to dance on his feet like I use to do when I was little. Today, may God's healing hands touch all of us who are mourning the loss of Malcolm, a beautiful uncle, husband, father, grandpaw and friend. He will forever be remembered. May you rest in peace Uncle Malcolm--I love you
Katherine, Mark, Teri & Doug we want to extend our deepest sympathies to all of you in the death of Malcolm. The times that we spent with Malcolm and his family over the years will always be cherished and never forgotten. I met Malcolm when he was attending McNeese in Lake Charles, LA and we visited with him and his family as time permitted through the years. (Not neaarly enough).
All of our family have fond memories and loved their "Uncle Malcolm" dearly.
Please extend our sympathies to the rest of his family.
We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

We were so very sorry to hear about Malcolm. We were classmates of Malcolms at Lake Charles High School. We last saw him at a class reunion and met Katherine. We wanted to let the family know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mac, you will never be forgotten as I enjoyed so much working with you and having our discussions and conversations. May you be in Peace with our Lord with no more pain and suffering. You endured so much throughout your life, but always continued to have that big smile and jovial personality. I will always remember you for having the finest qualities a person may have. God Bless your family and may our Lord comfort them in their time of grief and sorrow.
May you Rest in Peace Mac

To all the Houston Taylors,
It is hard to believe that my "baby brother" is gone. I too remember fondly growing up in Shreveport visitng Houston regularly. Malcolm was not too embarrased to be my "brother" and I loved saying that we looked alike. He was so much like our dad. Malcolm and Ginger were so good to my mom, and me and definitely to Daddy. I am glad for those time so long ago and hope that Teri, Mark Doug and I can do better at seeing each other. Catherine, thank you for being such a great wife to Malcolm these last twelve years.
Love to all,
"Aunt Charlotte"
Dad I Miss you, and Love you very much. Let's go to the Beach House....
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
Thank you for all you did to make our mother's funeral special, dignified, and easy for us.
I just can't express to you enough how much we appreciated the kindness and professionalism my family experienced with you and your staff.
Thank you for treating my beloved mother with honor and respect all throughout the process.
Our family will be forever grateful to the owner and staff at Beresford Funeral Services for the excellent services they provided to our family upon the death of our loved one. Everything went smoothly. The planning was easy with everything needed for the funeral provided on sight at reasonable prices with no pressure to spend more than planned. They were flexible with our personal plans, very kind, and considerate from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend Beresford Funeral Services to anyone in need of funeral services.
