Obituary

Donald Martin Malinovsky died on Friday, April 21st after a sudden case of Pancreatic Cancer.  He was born in Chicago, Illinois, son of Rudolf and Virginia Malinovsky (deceased.)  As a youth, he enjoyed baseball and activities with his brother Dr. Michael Malinovsky (deceased) and sister Susan Trembley of Orlando, FL.  He graduated from DePauw University in 1965 and then joined the Peace Corp where he served in Cameroon, Africa until 1968.  He then served in the U. S. Air Force and was stationed in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand beginning in 1969, during the Vietnam War.  In Thailand, he met his wife of 38-years, Ann Bua Malinovsky, and returned to the U.S. in 1975.  He continued his education, earning an MBA from Keller Graduate School of Management and JD from the John Marshall Law School.   He was a former member of the Illinois State Bar Association.   In 1988, he relocated his family to Orlando, FL to work at Daniels Manufacturing Corporation (DMC).  He was passionate about his career at DMC and most of all, enjoyed working with people.  He continued to work at DMC as General Manager until his death.  Don was an enthusiastic golfer and was a member of the Bay Hill Club for the past 29 years.  He was a devoted husband, loving father, and role model of integrity. He is preceded in death by his wife Ann Malinovsky, and survived by his three children Tawon Malinovsky (Lourdes) of Orlando, FL, Pam Fleming (Jeff) of Clermont, FL, and Timothy Malinovsky (Bryan), of Orlando, FL, two grandchildren Brianna Malinovsky and Emilia Chambers-Malinovsky, and numerous nieces and nephews.  Funeral services will take place at St John Vianney Catholic Church, Orlando, on May 6th at 11:00 am.  Should friends desire, contributions may be sent to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in lieu of flowers.

    My condolences and deepest sympathy to the family.
    I have fond memories of working with Don. I'll always remember his genuine interest in others, quit wit and laughter as well as a wide range of general knowledge. Don always looked forward to greeting and meeting customers that visited DMC's facility. He would usually offer a tour of the factory, and with a smile, he would call it the "nickel tour". Every time I tagged along I learned something new.
    Don was an extraordinary person who is already greatly missed but will not be forgotten. May wonderful memories live on.
