I have been tasked by Susan Malcolms Daughter to bring you this Sad sad News, Malcolm passed away suddenly at his home last night or in the early hours.......She has asked that no speculation is to be entered into.

On a personal note from Stav and Iain both of who are devastated as not only was he a Member of his club but a fellow show organiser.

Obviously our condolances go to his Family

Funeral Arrangements will be posted here at a later date

Kelly and Stav.

Awful news. He'll be missed by so many of us. Always helpful and so very knowledgeable. There's another huge gap in the modeling world, and I'm sure a much bigger one in his families one. My condolences to all who knew him, and especially to his loved ones.

Very sad news. Malcolm was a frequent contributor to Mayhem, his last post was only a couple of days ago. He will be greatly missed by many in the hobby and, I’m sure, elsewhere.

My sincere condolences to his family.

Peter.

Rest in peace Mr Frary. I did not know you like so many lucky folk on this forum, but send my condolences to his family and close friends.

From the Model Boats forum.
Sadly further t.o the very sad news about Malcolm, his daughter posted on facebook tonight this awful and diabolical news.
Blackpool Police: A murder investigation is underway following the death of a man in Blackpool.

https://mipp.police.uk/operation/0401020121W10-PO1?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Orlo

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-59857607

Admin: Everyone is horrified at what has happened and naturally we all want to know more but they can find that out from news reports online.

The fact that Malcolm's death is the subject of a murder investigation is in the public domain and has been widely reported on in socal media, online & including on BBC national news, so best the investigation is not discussed or speculated here on Mayhem.

But please feel free to post messages of condolence & and happy anecdotes of Malcolm if you have them.

Our most sincere condolences to all the family and friends.

Martin - Mayhem

You are right, and this would be in keeping with the family's wishes.

Colin Bishop · « **Reply #19 on:** January 03, 2022, 12:11:27 pm »

Yes, we won't be speculating on the circumstances on the MB Forum either. What we know already is tragic enough. The facts will emerge in due course.

Subculture · « **Reply #20 on:** January 04, 2022, 12:28:08 pm »

Terrible circumstances in his passing. I was only familiar with Malcolm via his posts on this site so never really knew him in person. There are some very wicked people out there.

SusanF · « **Reply #21 on:** January 05, 2022, 01:03:51 pm »

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. It is of great comfort to both myself and my family to know that my dad was so highly thought of and will be remembered as the kind and generous man that we all knew.

I have authorised Dave to give updates with regards to details as and when they are made and passed on to him.

Thank you
Susan Frary

Again, our most sincere condolences, Susan & thanks for taking the time to post here on Model Boat Mayhem.

Malcolm had made many friends here on mayhem and was held in high regard for his electrical & electronics knowledge,
..... gently correcting me on several occasions!

He'll be greatly missed.

Sad news to read on here and other forums.

I don't like to say sorry because it's too easy a word to say but very saddened and truly shocked to read of this in the news also, my thoughts are to the family and friends on this horrible news with a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat as I type.
