Maurice Maloof Obituary

Maurice Maloof, known to friends and family as "Ted" passed away on December 21, 2017 at the age of 86 years.

Ted was born in Copperhill, TN, and earned degrees from Notre Dame University and Emory Law School. He was a highly respected attorney in Atlanta and co-founded the law firm Hicks, Maloof, and Campbell. Ted was a renowned photographer whose work was exhibited widely in Atlanta and is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia.

Ted's keen intellect, creative and quirky humor and probing conversational style will be missed by many. Ted is lovingly remembered by his wife of 58 years, Gloria (nee Idrau), son Julin, sister Rowanda Isaf, brothers Nassire ("Vic") and Ferris, and many nieces and nephews.

A celebration of Ted's life we be held at 3pm Saturday January 27th, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 1911 Cliff Valley Way NE, Atlanta GA.

Donations in Ted's memory can be made to The Museum of Contemporary Arts, Georgia, 75 Bennett St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309 (www.mocaga.org ), and/or Atlanta Photography Group, 75 Bennett Street, NW, Atlanta, GA 30309 (www.apgphoto.org).

Ted was one of our "rocks" at APG, always approachable, jovial - a twinkle in both eyes to see the best in us all. His quick wit and warmth will truly be missed. We send our best to Gloria whom we also love. Our memories of Ted and Gloria together and their love for each other are cherished jewels in our memories.

I am honored to have known Ted during my time in Atlanta. Both he and his wife Gloria were important to me and my late wife C.C. in the last 18 years. Ted made a significant contribution to Atlanta as a lawyer and photographer. He was a wonderful, kind, funny and generous man who will be sorely missed. My life is richer for having known him. My condolences to his wife Gloria and his family for their loss. Ted was one of a kind.

Through him, I met countless friends and clients, two of whom, to this day, are among my closest friends and confidants . Moreover, Ted had one of the keenest minds and biggest hearts that God has ever created. Thanks, Ted! My condolences to his family, many friends and clients. RIP!
