He resigned and left this morning after 10 years of working with him. I could not resist the sadness of his going. Actually I was assigned to a different location so I was not there when he left but all what I could do is just a phone call and and an email (Copy is @ the top). Maldin Is a British national who has been working here since 1973. I joined the company in 2001, I remember when I first met him 9 years agao. He said he is impressed with my English but I was trying to take the embarrasement away by saying "no it is not".
I have learnt alot from this man, Not only technical engineering point of view, but alot of other things concering day-to-day life and activity. I blossomed between his hands during my career. He helped me alot to make it to the top and he is been always a support. He is out going good guy with great spirit. He got a very healthy sense of humour that you die laughing. I will realy miss him and he will be great loss for the department.
When I was in the UK, I visited him many times . He keeps good family and they are still in good bonds and ties where he almost lives like an Arab style of socialism. Still looks after his married doughters and son, looks after his grnds and his aunt. I have seen the kindness inside him. He took me for a meal near Wittby and shaw me where James Cook started his trip to discover Australia. Ahh What days man.
I will not forget this man and nobody will do because of the good support we received from him. Before he departured, he sent me sms saying , (Man I will never forget you and I believe we will meet again.)
You will be always remembered Mal.
DXAliK,
