Malcar will always be remembered as a hardworking man who did not let the people around him have any slack. Malcar took great pride in everywhere he lived, and everyone knew it. Not only would he keep his lawn meticulously landscaped, but he would also make sure everyone on his block had their grass regularly cut - even if he had to do it himself. There were times when he had all the neighborhood children outside on weekends cleaning the gutters and the alley before playtime could begin. Makar truly did not have the word "can't" in his vocabulary. At the age of

85,he was still taking care of his own lawn, including shoveling snow!

IfJunior cared about anyone, he would do everything he could for them.Ifhe considered anyone "family," he always supported them and had their back.
