• Notes

  Born 19.1.1942 at South Croydon, Surrey, England Malcolm was brought up in South Croydon with his 2 sisters and younger brother. He was educated at Middle Whitgift School for Boys in Croydon. Since his father was the Town Commissioner of Croydon Scouts, it was natural that he would follow in his footsteps and Malcolm joined the Scouting Movement, first as a Cub and then a Scout and a Rover, gaining many awards. He learned to play the piano and, like his parents, became an accomplished pianist. The family enjoyed musical evenings around the family piano, together with Scouting friends who would join in the singing. Whilst at school, Malcolm joined the RAF Combined Cadet Force and enjoyed several camps at the RAF training ground in Lincolnshire. On leaving school, Malcolm entered Horticultural College at Swanley in Kent to pursue his love of horticulture. He had spent many happy hours as a child digging in the garden and growing vegetables on the family allotment ? in particular his prize marrows - and chose to make this his career. He held propagating positions at gardens in Sussex and at Nurseries in Selhurst in south East London, before taking up a managerial appointment at Croydon Garden Centre. Malcolm met his future wife Marilyn at the offices of the Royal Automobile Club, where his mother also worked. They married on 30th May 1970 and had two sons, David born in 1973, and Richard in 1977. In the last few years of his life Malcolm suffered ill health through liver disease, which he bravely battled. He died of liver cancer on 20th January 1996, one day past his 54th birthday.
