I listened to Mal as a child when he was working afternoons on KOFM. Him and his famous "Animal Hoooooouse" segment, doing lost pets.
In 2017 I was honoured to be a colleague of Mighty Mal... working at KOFM. He would be doing weekends and if I was rostered on after him, I would get there hours ahead of time just to sit in Studio 1 and chew the fat. The memories of 2SM, his time with the Super Radio Network, Mildura and his time at 2NX and 2KO.
He finished up last year with us and I knew he was unwell again. But this is still a shock to us. He met my mum and family and was an absolute gentlemen to them.
I hope you're at peace now my friend and free from pain.
Mal also briefly worked as I recall at 2KA in 1978.
Very sad news, and what an unfailingly charming man he was. Such a lovely tribute from Peter Saxon and I personally send a message of comfort and love to all who knew and loved Mal. Requiescat in Pacem.
