So sorry to hear of Dr. Malpass´s passing. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. He was my first dentist when I moved to Victoria in 1982. He was such a gentle soul. He really listened to my history of going to the dentist and my anxiety. It was a sad day when he retired and I remember bumping into him downtown it was so nice chatting with him. Rest In Peace.
