To the Mallas Family: On behalf of the Payton Family, you have our sincere condolences. All of us grew up with your family. Your dad was an awesome person. I can remember when he would walk across the street on Weir Avenue,on Christmas Eve dressed in his Santa Claus suit for the children. He was the best. My dad, and mom loved him and your mom. Know that him and your mom have reached their final destination. Both of them are together walking with the Lord. May both of them rest in peace.
To our Weir Avenue (Second Family). Please know that your Dad will be sadly missed by the Payton family. Both of your parents were very kind to me and to the rest of our family. We truly loved being a part of your family. It has been many years, since I have seen any of you. However, please know that you and your family are in my prayers. God bless all of you. My sister Clemmie did tell me that she went over to Wyngate to see your Mom and Dad. We are ever so grateful that she did. Again, be blessed and know that God has truly opened his outstretched arms welcoming your Dad to join with your Mom in his heavenly kingdom. With much love and respect to the Mallas family.
Bonnie and Family – My condolences and prayers are with you and yours at this time. Your Father will be greatly missed by many.
Magistrate Mallas was a great guy, we had many laughs together. Mickey was always so professional and seemed to have the best knack i have ever seen in my 26yrs., of law enforcement to settle down the meanest of criminals brought before him to arraign at 3 or 4 in the AM hours. Mickey your kindness and friendship will never leave my MEMORY. Sgt. Randy Schambach
