Dr. Malcolm M Myers' Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dr. Malcolm Maisel Myers,
beloved husband, father, and grandfather, who passed away peacefully on September 9
at the age of 89. Malcolm will be remembered for his dedication to his family, his love of
life, his devotion to the profession of podiatry, and his delightful sense of humor. Mal left
an indelible mark on his family, friends, medical associates, and patients.
Malcolm was a devoted husband to Barbara, his beloved wife and best friend of 51
years. Malcolm and Barbara were inseparable, their bond only growing stronger as they
lived life together. Malcolm was the beloved father of Tracy Myers-Namur and Chuck
Myers, cherished father-in-law of Jaime Namur and Jessica Myers, and adored
grandfather of Sam, Ben, Josh, Sophie and Ziggy. He was beloved by extended family,
including Elizabeth and Juliette Halperin, in-laws Regina and Stephen Resnick, Clara
Namur, and Monica and Jordan Halperin.
As a father, Malcolm was a guiding light to Chuck and Tracy, instilling in them the
importance of integrity, honesty, and fiscal prudence. He was a wonderful father-in-law
to Jessica and Jaime, always supporting them, encouraging them, and loving them like
his own children. Mal was a role model to his grandchildren, who called him Papa. Papa
loved to joke around with them, while at the same time reminding them to make good
choices and “take the right road.” His legacy lives on through the values he imparted on
his family, and we will forever be grateful for the profound influence he had on our lives.
Malcolm was born on February 11, 1934 in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Harry Maisel
and Margarette Myers (nee Kusenitz). Harry passed away when Malcolm was eight
years old, and he was later adopted by Dr. Charles Myers, his mother’s second husband,
whom he viewed as a beloved second father and professional mentor. Malcolm grew up
in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, surrounded by a large and loving family. He attended
Cleveland Heights High School, The Ohio State University, and the Ohio College of
Podiatric Medicine. Professionally, Malcolm was known for his integrity, cheerful
personality, skill as a surgeon, and passionate advocacy of the profession.
Malcolm retired in 1996 and moved to Boynton Beach, Florida with Barbara. Mal loved
his years of retirement and filled his days with shooting, fishing, playing poker with
friends, and creating his beautiful 3-D art. He was a proud Mason and Shriner and loved
attending meetings and being part of those communities. Mal also valued philanthropy
and prioritized donating to Jewish causes. He was a proud defender of the State of
Israel. As we remember the life he lived, we also remember the ways he made our world
a brighter and more cheerful place.
To honor Malcolm’s memory, the family kindly requests donations to be made to the
Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, in honor of Sinai Health Center, where he lived the last couple years of his life.
May Malcolm's memory be a blessing.
