Malcolm Knight Dick

Such a life well lived. Malcolm most definitely will be fondly remembered by many. We shared so many wonderful Kiwanis memories. Our most sincere condolences go out to the family. With sympathy, John and Mary Longworth

Barb, Sue ,Marg and Families Malcolm was the greatest guy to have as our next door neighbour. We will certainly miss those fun impromptu times sharing a beer(s) on the porch or driveway. He was always holding court with his great tales. He was a classy guy who never wanted to bother or ask of others. We truly miss him! Fondly, Barry and Kathy

So sorry to hear of your wonderful Dads passing. He lived a wonderful life and inspired many children including his own. Love and Prayers to Susan,Margaret and Barbara. Went to Oakridge Secondary High School with these ladies.

We moved onto Kingspark in 1991 and Malcom was one of the first to welcome us. That started over 30 years of laughs, friendship and his correcting our grammar! Our son played those first video games in their family room and our daughter learned how to ride a two wheeler with his help. So many memories over the years …to name a few…Malcom’s love for dogs, the infamous pool fill in, ham radio, electric bike, Red Lobster, cars, great conversations and recounting a life well lived. Grateful we had the privilege……we will miss him…..

I taught with Malcolm at Ryerson P.S. for several years in the late 70's to 80's. Although we taught in different divisions , our paths crossed at assemblies, staff meetings, and the staff room. I have such fond memories of those years at Ryerson. Malcolm was a gentleman and always had a smile on his face. My condolences to his family. Suzanne Hartleib

I am sorry to hear that Mr Dick has passed away and I offer my condolences to all his family and friends. He was a teacher at Ryerson Public School when I was there in the 70s. Mr Dick was not my teacher but he left a very positive impression. He used to drive us all to the baseball games in that incredible car he had with the broad round back window. We loaded the bat bags and our gloves in the trunk then all squeezed in - probably no seatbelts and definitely more than the car was intended to carry. He always had the radio on. I remember on one journey with half the girls' team squeezed into that car when the song 'Shannon' came on. Sad song about a dog that gets lost at sea and drifts away and drowns. We were all in tears and then subdued as we arrived at the ball park - hardly the revved up mindset needed to win the game! I remember being impressed by Mr Dick's kindness and his 'right' view of life. He had this car that he clearly cherished but it was not merely to be admired it was put to good use driving us kids around to extracurricular activities. Reading the obituary I see the he lived a long and good life. He had many people he loved and who loved him, and he was of service in his community. A blessed life indeed.

Mary, Susan and Barb, and families. We were so sorry to hear about Uncle Mac. What fun times we had growing up. I was always pleased to see you guys come to Beachwood as your Dad always let me use his car for the evening get aways and I cruised downtown Peterborough. He also taught me to jump off the dock and ski on one ski. So much patience! He lived a very full life and after all these years is back with Aunt Mary. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. 🥰

We are saddened to see the loss of Malcolm . Thinking of his family at this time. We remember his beautiful voice in the choir at St Aidan’s church. There was always a good chat to be had, at the Byron Legion when speaking with Malcolm about many topics. He is remembered with fondness Heather and Henry Mills

Malcom was one of the first fellows to greet me when I joined the RRA exercise program and was a good friend. We will all miss him!

Dear Marg, Sue and Barb and families We were so sorry to hear about your dad. He was a special person and Uncle. Had alot of good times with him and your mom at Beachwood Lodge and Minden. He was like my dad always full of pranks. He was fun loving and enjoyed life. I will miss his phone calls on my birthday each year. He is at rest with his mon, dad sister and brother in Heaven now. Thinking of you all

Memories of Oh Shenandoah are filling my head these days. Lots of other good times as kids at Deer Bay and Blue Mountain. Mr. Dick was "one of a kind"! My condolences to all of you.

Thank you Mr Dick for making Kingspark such a fun place to grow up.

Malcolm was my grade 5 teacher at Hillcrest Public School back in 1964/65. I met him again when I was in grade 11 when a friend and I had landscaping business and Malcolm was a customer. Then we crossed paths again 42 years later when I was hosting a billiards game at our home in RiverBend Golf Community. Turned out Malcolm was one of the players. I never knew his first name - he was Mr. Dick to me - so at the end of the billiards play I asked him if he had been a teacher at Hillcrest. He said yes and I said “ guess what, I turned out okay” Since that time we would see each other many times and Malcolm was always my partner for the games at our annual RiverBend “ street party”. My wife Susan took a real shine to Malcolm - what woman didn’t. Malcolm was a fine man, a great teacher and a real gentleman. He will be missed.

Malcolm and I were on the teaching staff at Northridge PS back in the ‘sixties. Malcolm was an excellent teacher who cared deeply for the students. Malcolm was an interesting guy—always innovative and helpful to anyone who sought him out. I remember Malcolm telling my that the knot in my tie wasn’t current. He told me to use a Windsor knot and showed me how it was done—I still use that knot to this day. A few years back, Malcolm came down to Windsor with his good friend, Billy Gaskell and we went over to a Tiger game in Detroit. It was a fun time and we met after the game with a former student of Malcolm’s who now lives in the Windsor area—good times. Malcolm’s was a life well-lived and he will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. My most sincere condolences to Malcolm’s family. Ross Spettigue, Windsor, ON
