Yes this is a shock. I know Mal from the SIG contests, and he was another "Ex-St.Louisan" or had family here. I last saw him at Mike Gretz's memorial service in February. Really nice guy and guys like him are the bricks in the foundation of what this great hobby is! Whenever I see Bib Overalls, I think of Mal!
Rest in Peace, Mal,
