He began employment with Eddy's Bakery before entering the U.S. Navy during World War II, where he was assigned to the U.S.S. Drew, a troop carrier in the Pacific Fleet.
Following his honorable Navy discharge, he resumed employment with Eddy's and also worked at the Sally Ann Bakery. He later moved his family into an apartment adjoining the 5th Avenue Ice Cream Shop, which he managed for a time. He also was an assistant manager of the former Super Save Drug here, before beginning employment with Montana Power Co. for 11 years. His last job, from which he retired, was the Montana Department of Transportation; he drove a snowplow in the winter and a "broom" in the summer.
His wife of 66 years, Marie, preceded him in death in July 2007. Also preceding him were his parents, Carl and Margaret Marshall; a sister, Mary Shortridge; and a brother, Douglas Dobson.
He belonged to the Great Falls Chamber of Commerce, the American Red Cross, the Elks, the Vets' Club and the Teamsters. He worked the Montana State Fair for Montana Power and was shop steward for the Highway Department.
Malcolm always flew the American flag in his yard every weekend. Family and friends enjoyed going with him to the cabin in Wolf Creek Canyon. He later sold the cabin sites at Marshall Lanes. He enjoyed keeping up his house and yard. He played horseshoes, volleyball, badminton, croquet, dice and lots of cards.
