Herbert Malin, 90, passed away surrounded by family Thursday, July 19, 2018. He was born in the Bronx, N.Y., the son of the late Samuel and Bella (Pintel) Malin.

He grew up in Far Rockaway and Brooklyn, New York. Herbert and Beverly (Baron) were married in 1950 for 66 years until Beverly’s passing. Together they lived in Evanston, Ill., Midland Mich., and then Barrington, R.I., from 1957 until 2010. Herbert and Beverly had been living in Tiverton since 2010.

He is survived by his children, Judith (Michael Marr), David, and Robert (Denise) Malin; his sister, Marion Cohen; sister-in law, Susan Baron Garrett; grandchildren, Daniel (Katherine Ortega), Bella, and Piper Malin; and great-grandchildren, Salvador Espinal and Ximena Malin; nieces, and a nephew and their children.

Herbert attended City College of New York, served in the Army from 1946-1947, and graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering in 1950. He was awarded a teaching fellowship from Northwestern University and received a M.S. Degree in Chemical Engineering in 1951.

He worked for Dow Chemical Company from 1951 to 1956. He and Beverly moved to R.I. in 1956 when he began working for Thompson Chemical Company, which became Teknor Apex. He began there as a process engineer, then a plant manager in 1960; a Vice President in charge of manufacturing 1965; and Executive Vice President of Teknor Apex in 1968 and President of Haywood Co. in Tennessee. He truly loved his work and the people he worked with and with some reluctance finally retired after 50 years, at age 79.

Herbert served as a Trustee of the Miriam Hospital and served on the Board of Temple Habonim in Barrington, R.I., for many years and also a term as President.

With Beverly he traveled extensively in Europe and the U.S. His favorite travel destination was their time in Italy. He enjoyed sailing, a pastime his son Robert grew up with and continues.

Herbert built much of their furniture in the early years of his marriage — treasures his children will share with generations to come. Herbert and Beverly enjoyed classical music concerts, art museums and theater together.

He was a man of many interests and could speak knowledgeably about an amazing range of subjects. To his family, it seemed he just knew everything. His smile was treasured to the end.

Funeral services will be private. A Memorial Celebration of Life will be arranged at a future date. For information and condolences, www.SugarmanSinai.com
