Obituary published on Legacy.com by McHoul Funeral Home of Fishkill, Inc. on Dec. 27, 2025.
William Joseph Malone, Jr., passed away peacefully on December 22, 2025, surrounded by his family.

Bill was born on October 2, 1944, in Poughkeepsie to the late William J. Malone, Sr. and Minerva Malone, and grew up in Peekskill. As a young man, Bill was known for his love of water skiing on the Hudson River and photography. On June 11, 1966, he married the love of his life, Kathleen Marie Malone. This year marks his 60th wedding anniversary with his true love, with whom he is now reunited in heaven. He is also reunited with his firstborn son, Billy, who recently passed away on 12/9/25.

Bill was a Mason and Home Builder, and then later on in life, he followed his passion for Photography and became a Professional Photographer and owner of (K-Lynn Studios). At one point, his career shifted, and he became a UPS driver in Mount Kisco and Bedford, New York. He loved reminiscing and telling stories of the wonderful people he met over the years. Bill is known as the life of the party, sharing his love for music and dancing. He loved motorcycles, Corvettes, hunting, collecting coins, and the beach. Bill and Kathleen owned a home in Lake Worth, Florida, for over 20 years, where they hosted some of the best times for their family.

Bill will be remembered as a loving husband, father, best friend, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Bill's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were truly his pride and joy, and he knew how to make everyone feel his love. His family is so incredibly lucky to be protected and loved by him. They are all so grateful for the special memories, and he will be in their hearts forever. Bill's loving family includes his wife, Kathleen Malone. His children are Billy Malone III (Lynne), Patrick (Leeann), and Kelli-Lynn (John). His grandchildren are Olivia, Ariana (Brian), Isabella (Kevin), Patrick, Jr., Billy IV, Jonathan, and Lauren. And his great-grandchildren, Camilla, Nicholas, and Daniella. Bill was predeceased by his wife, son, parents, and sister.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered on Tuesday, December 30, 2025 at 11:30 am at St, Mary, Mother of the Church, 106 Jackson Street, Fishkill, NY. Burial will follow at Ballard Barrett Cemetery, 529 Route 6N, Mahopac, NY, 10541.
