Mal was a retired general manager of a Ford dealership in Houston, TX. He thrived in this business and won many awards and gifts from Ford including cruises, a trip to Australia, Caribbean Islands and Alaska to name some. He made a multitude of friends in the Houston area. For 34 years, he lived in Friendswood, TX. In 2006, he and his wife moved to Arizona, LA to the home that Edith's grandfather Spigener had built in 1928. He loved being with his friends, golfing, hunting, fishing and working crossword puzzles. He often said that the best years of his life were spent with his two sons, Keith and Kirk Womack, especially their hunting trips in Texas and Colorado. His fishing trips with dear friends, J.K. Moore and Robert Chambers to Mexico and South America were some highlights of his life.
Mal was a veteran of the Vietnam/Korean War serving as a Marine Corporal at Camp Pendleton, CA and in the Marine Reserves; a member of the Masonic Lodge of Houston, TX, and Homer, LA; and was a member of the Arizona United Methodist Church and the Homer, LA Lions Club. He also was a member of the Claiborne Parish District 6 Fire Department. He was a Deacon in the First Methodist Church in Friendswood, TX; Vice-President of his high school's Letterman's Club, the captain of his football team and was voted the most courteous student at Miller High School by the faculty. He attended Del Mal College in Corpus Christi. Mal and Edith helped organize the All Play Football Club in Friendswood, TX. He was a member of the Houston Rodeo and Stock Show, serving on several committees. After Kirk's tragic accident and death, he organized the Kirk Womack Memorial Golf Tournament which resulted in over $60,000 being given as scholarships to graduates of several Bay area high schools. Mal managed to get big name players to come out and support the tournaments. Some of those were Houston Oiler players, Dan Pastorini, Charlie Tolar and King Hill, along with Houston Rockets player Jim Peterson. Their appearances truly helped in the bidding for signed footballs and basketballs. Mal's friends and family from all over Texas came to support this scholarship effort, as well as many local men who were Mal's, Keith's and Kirk's friends.
