Speaking of Malcolm’s contribution, TCCA board chair Mladen Vratonjić said: “I want to thank Malcolm for his enormous contribution, devotion to TCCA and the many hours of hard work he has put in it. He was not only the vice chair of the board, he was our chief strategist, financial and legal advisor, and our main ‘negotiator.’
“He was also the board member to whom we turned to help us determine our collective attitude towards difficult issues. His many contributions to our success - and that of the TETRA industry - are immeasurable, and we are going to miss him tremendously.”
