Biography

Elmaleh was born to a Jewish family in Mogador, now Essaouira, Morocco.[1] He was the eldest of six brothers. His surname was an Arabic-Moroccan name that his Sephardic Jewish forebears had adopted after fleeing the Spanish Inquisition to Morocco.[1]

He came to the United States in 1925, and grew up in Bensonhurst and Borough Park in Brooklyn.[1] He attended P.S. 48, and later majored in music at Brooklyn College.[1] He then attended the University of Virginia.[1]

He won the one-wall handball national doubles championship in 1951. At 49, he and Victor Niederhoffer won the national doubles championship. He continued to play squash and win tournaments at an advanced age. He enjoyed watercolor painting, creating 4,000 in his lifetime, some of which were exhibited in galleries.[1]

He died on November 17, 2014 at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, New York City.[2]
