Obituary of William J. Malvey

William J. Malvey, “Bill”, passed away at The Oaks At Denville on his 96^th birthday on November 11, 2024, surrounded by his children and grandchildren. 

Born in Waterbury, CT. He lived in Waterbury and Greenwich, CT, Parsippany and Basking Ridge, NJ and Southport, NC before moving to back to NJ to be closer to family in 2016. 

Bill earned his Bachelor’s degree from William and Mary College, was drafted into the Army in January 1951, serving until his discharge as a Corporal in December 1952, and worked for many years as a salesman for Century Brass Products Company and its successors before retiring in 1996. 

Bill was a natural born salesman, he loved the NY Yankees, driving anywhere while navigating by maps (no GPS for him), collecting coins, baseball cards, and model cars, watching westerns, listening to Willie Nelson and big band music, and taking his children camping and on family trips to the Jersey Shore.  He kept active his whole life, exercising daily, playing golf, softball, and tennis, which he did into his 80's.  He hated to let a good coupon go to waste. He had a great sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. 

He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 62 years, Joan Malvey in 2018. 

Bill is survived by his loving children Lynn and her husband John Conover of Sparta, NJ, Eileen Malvey of Denville, NJ, Mark and his wife Annie Malvey of Grand Haven, Ml,
