Tributes
"I remember Mallie from my early years at KABC. He loved to play softball. He was the catcher for the KABC team. I was always glad to see him because he made me feel important when I was around him. When I was in Junior high I remember him driving my school bus on the home route. I was always glad when he drove the route. Millie was a landmark in my life."
