BIGGS: Malcolm of Bayfield
Posted By Haskett Funeral Homes On August 26, 2026 @ 11:42 AM In Obituary | 5 Comments
Malcolm Biggs of Bayfield passed away August 23, 2026. Soldier, Educator and Traveler, Malcolm was born in Bristol, England and emigrated to Canada after having served in the British Army. He settled in London, where he married Helen, obtained his degrees at the University of Western Ontario and where they had their daughters, Susannah and Samantha.
Malcolm and Helen spent most of their teaching and nursing careers, respectively, in Kitchener where they raised their two girls; they retired to their second home in beautiful Bayfield. They were lucky to have spent more than 25 years living on the shores of Lake Huron.
Malcolm enjoyed ‘beating’ others at jeopardy, eating a good meal, reading an interesting book, traveling somewhere new or hiking a wild trail.
His greatest love was his wife of nearly 60 years, Helen. In the early days they enjoyed camping in Algonquin, traveling through New England and driving across Canada. More recently they spent time chatting over coffees at first and second breakfasts.
We have always known how much our dad loved us. He celebrated our wins and consoled us in our loses. He was exceptionally proud of his granddaughters, Julia and Miranda.
He will be missed by his sister Chris, her husband Grantley and his extended family in England.
Malcolm would never direct anyone to give to charities in his name, but should you wish to do so, please consider: trying Marmite (a thin spread on toast with lots of butter), finding a way to pay less income tax, buying something you have no use for–just because you like it, and visiting somewhere off the beaten path.
We’ll love you forever.
Condolences for the family of “BIGGS: Malcolm of Bayfield”
Malcolm will be missed. He was a lovable, witty, compassionate soul who generously looked after the homeless neighborhood cats providing vet care and meals. He had a hidden tender side one would see the more you got to know him. Im sure Sam and Helen will cherish the many wonderful family memories. I loved what the family wrote about his life as I think it nicely captured Malcolm…. Love, Pat, Renee, Rosie, Will

I’m so sorry for your loss. You were such a great daughter to your dad, (and still are to your mom of course); and he cherished his time with you. You were with him through the good times and bad and I hope you remember his love for you.
