Norman (John) Maloney

Sep 22, 1917 – Jun 16, 2013

Our loving dad, papa and great-papa, Norm Maloney, passed away peacefully on June 16, 2013 at the Pines Special Care Home in Kimberley.

Dad was born on September 22, 1917 in New Westminster, BC to Murdoch and Mary Maloney.  He moved to Nelson at an early age and spent his school years there.  He met Lillian Fisher in 1937 and were married in 1942, Toronto, Ontario.  Moving back to Nelson, he worked for the Hudson Bay Co., working in Nelson, Trail, Penticton and Kimberley.  He finally changed jobs in 1956 to work for the Mutual Life Company of Canada until his retirement in 1982.

Dad and Mum spent many years in Maui, Hawaii, enjoying their golfing, friends and many “Happy Hours”.  He was also a Life Member of Rotary, receiving the Paul Harris Award.

Dad will surely be missed as he was a very kind and loivng man who would go out of his way to help others.  His love of life for his family and friends ws always shown through his laughter and jokes.

He is survived by his son, Barry (Irma) and daughter, Sheila Hogg; 7 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren; also many nephews and nieces.  His loving wife Lil, passed away in 1998 and son Neil, in 2008.

There will be no service as requested by Dad.  The family will lay him to rest beside Mum at a later date in Nelson, BC.
