Peacefully, on Tuesday, January 14, 2020, at his residence in Port Perry, at age 100. Lawrence Malcolm of Port Perry and formerly of Nestleton, beloved husband of the late Gwen (nee Brooks).

He will be missed by his 23 grandchildren, 31 great grandchildren, and his nieces and nephews. Dear brother of Neil Malcolm (deceased) and Jean Millet. Lawrence has been a part of the Scugog Community for over 100 years. He was born on the Malcolm family farm in Nestleton, which he took over in 1948 from his parents Stanley and Bertha Malcolm. He married Gwen (nee Brooks) in 1948, and they successfully farmed in North Nestleton for 30 years. They were long time supporters of the Nestleton United Church.
