Dear Susan, I just now heard of your husbands passing. I am very sorry for your loss. Just always remember the great times that you had with him. From all that I have heard, it sounds like he was someone I would have liked to have known. I look forward to someday seeing you again. Your High School Classmate, Larry Hall

Dear Susan, Virginia and Families,
We know that words cannot take away the sorrow of Mike's passing,
but hope you know that we care and love you all, I only saw Mike a couple of times, but knowing you he was a very special in all ways, our Lord has taken him home to share his love and we will be with him again some day. What a wonderful Guardian Angel you all have now paving the way. Love and prayers, Rea and Family.

Susan and family, I don't know where to begin to tell you how much Dr M ment to me and my family. I will miss his caring, joyful and talking racing with him. He called me the princess because he could always come to me and I would do whatever he asked in a hurry. He just ment so much to me and I will miss him dearly. If you ever need anything plumber or friend please don't hesitate to call. We Love you!

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Malinovsky. I called on him as a pharmaceutical rep for several years, and he was one of the kindest physicians I have ever met. He obviously cared so much about his patients and staff, and was very gracious to me through the years. I know that he will deeply missed by his family, friends, and anyone else whose lives were touched by his spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Mrs. Malinovsky and Family,
Our deepest sympathy, may knowing that you are in the prayers, hearts, and thoughts of others help you and yours through this time of sorrow.
We have known Mike since his arrival at Kiawah-Seabrook, he was a wonderful Doctor and friend who will be missed by all.

Karl and I were Seabrook Island patients of Dr. Mike's when he first joined the practice located just outside our gate. Initially we went to him because it was so convenient, but continued to see him until he retired because we knew there could be no better person to whom to entrust our health care. Among other things, he was a great diagnostician and (uncommon in his field) wasn't the tiniest bit arrogant -- quick to refer one to a specialist he thought could be more helpful and respecting always the patient's own intellect and right to be deeply involved in one's own medical care.

He listened.

He was kind, caring, witty and -- through his own medical problems -- an inspiration in courage and good humor. We missed him after retirement and will surely miss him now.

Our sincere sympathies to Susan and all his loving family.

My sympathy goes out to the Malinovsky family. Michael came in and out of my life and at every occasion he was always openhearted. That’s one of the many reasons so many people will miss him, however feel blessed to have known him.

I have to confess one reason I really liked Michael, was I found someone else that occasionally started reading magazines from the back. Go figure! I’m also fortunate to have a little step stool Michael made for Melissa, which I’ve held for over 30 years to give to my grand child. So he or she can as ask who made it? Then Melissa or I can let them know that it was crafted by your Great Uncle Michael, who like this little stool, put peoples lives back together as a great and loving Doctor and Father.

May God allow Michael to continue the work he started here. He will be missed!

I do not know where to begin in stating how much I loved and admired Dr. 'M". He has been such a blessing to my husband and I for so many years. I pray for his family in their time of sorrow but I also know that God has a new right hand "angel" to help guide us all
Much love and thanks for all he did for us.

Mrs. M,
I am truly sorry to hear that Dr. M passed. I will surely miss him. He brought me so much joy. I always looked so forward to seeing him for his CT appts. I pray that the Lord will keep you and the family during this most difficult time.

We were patients of Dr. M's from the time he first came to Kiawah-Seabrook Medical Center until his retirement, and we both agree that of all the physicians we have ever had he was the best. Professionally and personally we loved him and miss him greatly.

Dear Dr.Mike and his family,

Dr. Mike, you were a caring doctor and a compassionate human being who was interested in everyone who sought your help and expertise, whether it was serious and extensive PI on vacation at Seabrook, or strep throat or baby's earaches. Thanks for all your help and guidance...but especially thanks for your example of how to confront adversity without letting it destroy your spirit. God is with you now and forever. He will keep you all under his wing.
With deep sympathy and great admiration,
Joanne Foster

Dear Mrs. Malinovsky and family,

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Dr. Mike put up a brave fight and saw patients, me included, during his long battle with lymphoma. He was always caring and concerned during my illness and his patients became friends. He will be missed by many.

Dear Susan, Jessica, Jennifer and Michael,
I am so sorry to read of Dr. Mike's death. I have so many fond memories with your family. I will cherished them forever.

I think of all of you often and will remember you in my prayers.

Sincerely, Dianne Moore

Dr. Malinovsky was my family doctor for years and I just loved seeing him. He was honest, smart, and so funny. I am so sorry for your loss, he will be so missed and remembered for so long.

Dear Mrs. Malinovsky and Family, I am very saddened to hear of Dr. "M".s passing, he was my physician for many years. He was always very concerned about my health and also offered many words of encouragement and always had a smile and positive outlook. I truly was sad to see him retire, but knew it was what he needed to do. I am so glad I had the opportunity to know him and will always remember him fondly. When he moved his office to Seabrook, he offered to find me a doctor closer to me, but I wouldn't have it - I had the best and wanted to keep the best.

Jessica,
We are so sorry your Dad lost his battle with cancer. He is in heaven looking down at all of you with all the love he has in his heart shining down on you. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Michael and Lisa Bourean

Mike & Robin & Family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are deeply saddened by your loss.

We pray that the Lord will comfort and strengthen all of you as you go through this trying time. Joe Hunt was a long time patient of Dr. Mike.

Cousin Mike was an early inspiration to all of us family in the same generation. His drive, lofty goals and enviable successes both personally and professionally throughout his life served as a beacon to all of us who tried to follow. I am deeply indebted to his memory, and will both miss him and yet celebrate the humble elegance of his life. Thank you, Mike, and Blessings to you , Susan, and all of the family. Much love.

Susan and family my whole family is terribly sorry about your loss. Dr. Mike was not only our physician but also a dear friend. I tried to be the last patient he saw before he retired. Someone was late so I saw him early. Thank God I got the opportunity to express our feelings. He was a strong man and fought so hard to overcome his illness, always cheerful and so caring. Our thoughts and prayer are with you. Giving him up will be hard but he is in a much better place.

Dear Susan and Aunt Virginia,
I am so sorry for your loss. Although I did not know Michael well, I was always impressed by his joy and enthusiam, and "positiveness". I remember him best when Mom and I were visiting him and Susan in St. Louis and he had just gotten notice of his medical school acceptance -- boy were they happy! You were blessed to have him as a brother and son.
May your sorrow pass quickly. My prayers are with you. The peace of Christ be in your hearts. Extend my sympathy to his larger family.
Love,

Being the youngest of the "5" grandchildren of Dr. Mike's paternal grandparents, I was not around Dr. Mike nearly enough. However, I do remember watching him play QB at DePauw. And the few times I did visit him, Susan and Dr. Mike made me feel so welcome. He was also very reassuring and comforting during my mother losing a battle with cancer a couple of years ago.
Dr. Mike was very proud of his family. I'm sure he will be missed by the people whose lives he touched.
Dr. Mike, thank you for everything and being there when needed.

Dear Susan and Virginia - I am so sorry for your loss. I hold you close in thought and prayer. Today Michael is enjoying a place where there is no more pain only LOVE. May you receive the peace of God in your hearts and the strength to endure. Love, Nilda

Jessica: I am so very sorry about your father losing his hard-fought battle. He was a man to be admired for living life to the fullest. Life is so short, we have to do that. John and I send our love and condolences to you and your family.

To Dr. Mike:
I’m not sure what to say… I have lost a dear friend, a family member and an inspiration. I had hoped to have you at our house for one more Lebanese food feast that you loved so much!
You epitomized the true meaning of loving husband, caring father and decent human being. Your uncanny connection with people is indescribable.
Selfishly, I am so sad to see you leave us so soon, there so much more for you to give and for me to learn. Thank you for the great memories…

May God bless your kind soul!

Fouad

My brother, my hero. I love him and will miss him dearly. He leaves a wonderful legacy for his family and friends. I know I was his favorite sister - and his only one!
Heaven is a more wonderful place now since Mike arrived.
