Malcolm McLeod
“Scotty” Gibson
1931-2018
Malcolm McLeod “Scotty” Gibson
of Springfi eld passed away on May 7,
2018 after a long struggle with cancer.
Malcolm was born in Pacifi c Grove,
CA May 1, 1931 to Samuel and DeEava
Gibson. In 1946, the family relocated
in Oregon where Malcolm graduated
from Drain High School in 1950.
Malcolm married Jeanne Gordineer in 1950 and they settled
in Cottage Grove, where he engaged in sawmill work and
carpentry for a number of years. Later, he went on to graduate
from Lane Community College and the University of Oregon.
After teaching school for a short time, Malcolm opened his own
business, Scotty’s Hardwoods, in Springfi eld, operating it for 25
years before retiring.
Malcolm was a private pilot and enjoyed fl ying his own airplane
for many years. He was a long time member of the Oregon Pilot’s
Association, and also of the Experimental Aircraft Association,
actually taking on the task of building an air-plane in the family
garage.
Malcolm also loved motorcycles, purchasing various models
over the years. A fan of electric cars, he converted a small
Volkswagon Bug into an electric car and enjoyed showing it off
around town, and was fl attered to have an article about him and
the car featured in the local Springfi eld paper.
Besides his wife, Jeanne, Malcolm is survived by 3 daughters:
Sharon McLeod of Beaverton, OR, Karen Gotcher of
Drummond, MT and Laurie Jenkinson of Eugene, OR: a brother,
Donald Gibson of Sun City, AZ: 1 Grandson, 6 Granddaughters,
7 Great-grandchildren and 2 Great Great-granddaughters. An
infant Daughter preceded him in death.
He was a member of the Springfi eld Church of God and very
unhappy whenever his illness forced him to miss a Sunday.
A memorial service for Malcolm will be held on Sunday, May
20, 2018 at Springfi eld Church of God, 14th and D Street at
2:00pm. Viewing will be before the memorial service from
