David Malin

Dave was my best friend in Red Lodge. We shared many good times at the cave, bowling, working, cooking, traveling, and sailing. He was a giant at bringing people together. He felt that once you were friends, even if you parted ways, you should still love and respect each other. We've parted now, but I'll always love and respect DAVE. He's left a huge void in my life.

I worked with Dave at the old Ramada Inn in Billings 40 odd years ago and then was lucky enough to work with him again at Red Lodge Mountain in the late 80's. I would see him from time to time in Roberts at the Y-Stop and he would always give me a hug and say hello. He was always so nice. Just a "gentle giant" with a kind heart! And I remember when he bought our old neighbor John Teini's old building and moved it to it's present home. What an endeavor by a man who wanted to preserve a piece of the past! Rest in Peace my friend, you have earned it. Lynette Goodman-Burgan

I graduated with Dave but actually we went to school together for 12 years. He was always a fun and very smiley guy. I got to see him 2 years ago when he came home for the class reunion and of course got a big hug and kiss. We’ll all miss him dearly as I know you will. I’ m so sorry for all his family and friends. He was one of the good ones! Deb Holthaus-Robinson

Dave was always a good guy - I always liked him. May he dwell in Valhalla!!

It was always fun to have a beer,swap stories, and have a big laugh with "Big Dave". Thought of him just a couple of weeks ago, as we are moving our stuff back to MT, and drove by Cherry Springs Rd.. Said to myself, that I'll have to look him up when we get back. Guess I'll just have to hoist a glass in his honor. He will be missed!
