Dear family,
I know this must be a difficult time for you, but all the wonderful, joyous memories you have will be a comfort to you I'm certain. We, too, remember Bill singing at Aunt Betty's 90th birthday and it will be a memory to keep forever. He was always such a fun-loving person. I know that my dad (Bill Muldoon) was sorry that he couldn't come up from Florida to give you his condolences in person, but please know that Bill is in all our thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Bill, I'll miss you! I'm so grateful for the many memories you helped to create..more than enough to enjoy for the rest of my life! From that polka at the Pendergast wedding the first time I met "uncle Bill", to your delightful rendition of "Odd Fellows Hall" at gram Betty's 90th, you brought smiles and happiness to this lady and the family of Jay Malvey. Thank you!

Dear Maureen & Family.
The staff at the day center want express our heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your Dad. Bill as we knew him, was thought of often. He loved to reminisce about life, sing,& dance, He was thankful for family, friends, and caregivers. He loved life, and considered himself lucky to be alive. He never hesitated to voice his complaint. Usually reasonable, but sometimes beyond my control
( like the temperature control of the building) We always looked forward to when he danced out the door thanking "us kids for minding him." This is the Bill we all got to know. May he rest in peace, and join family and friends in a grand reunion. He has been missed, and will forever stay in our hearts. We often have our favorites, and Bill was one of them. He was still showing up for life. Looking forward to some socialization. Coping with age related issues, but still needing some down time alone. I think he did pretty good. He maintained his independence as long as possible. Happy to have known Bill, You can hear us say "Remember Bill Malvey" in the days ahead. He will be remembered.....by all of us. I think he will remember us too. I hope.
God Bless
