John F. Malloy

COLEBROOK – John F. Malloy, 68, of Colebrook, died peacefully on Sunday morning, Sept. 18, 2016, at the Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital with his family by his side after a brief battle with cancer. He was born in Watertown, Mass., on Sept. 24, 1947. He attended Watertown public schools and later attended Boston University for two years. He was self-employed, owning his own computer information company working on high-tech computer management with MIT, police, and fire departments in the greater Boston area. After retiring, John and his late wife Maureen moved to Colebrook, where he spent his time working on his home and investing in local property management. John loved traveling, especially with his wife and father. His favorite spots included Las Vegas and the various islands of the Caribbean. To celebrate one of their wedding anniversaries, he and his wife Maureen took a dream vacation to Europe where they were immersed in the cultures of Italy, Spain, Greece, and Turkey. It was a once in a lifetime trip that he spoke of often with enthusiasm and excitement. John’s greatest love was for his family. He was happiest when his family was gathered together and sharing stories of their childhood and life. Always the practical joker, he often found amusement in teasing his family members. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife of 46 years Maureen, his mother Rita, his brother Neil and sister-in-law Jan. He is survived by his son Robert and his wife Erin and their children, Margaret and Christian Pugh; his daughter Laurieanne Davis and her husband Shawn; his father Neil; his brother Edward Malloy and his wife Christine, and their children Laurabeth, and Carolyn; his sister Barbara Horton and her husband Albert, and their children Kerri and David and his wife Diana; his brother Joseph Malloy; his brother-in-law Skipper Walsh and his wife Paula, and their children Michael, Matthew, and Emily. There was a private celebration of John and Maureen’s life on Saturday, Sept. 17th, 2016. Expressions of sympathy in memory of John may be made to the American Cancer Society, 2 Commerce Dr., Suite 110, Bedford, NH 03110.
