New JDM Photos Added, Slideshow Added

The John D. Maloney Memorial blog site now features a new slide show with photos from July-Oct 2007. This photo series is found among my (Tim's) Picasa albums at http://picasaweb.google.com/tjmaloney811/UncleJohnPixJulyOct2007#. John Altenburg contributed the photos from the WPAFB golf course, July 2007. That's his daughter Molly with JDM in several pictures, and his son Patrick and family appear as well. Several hours earlier I had left from DAY airport right after Molly arrived and JDM, Janice, John and I greeted her. A magic day for everyone, it would seem. Other pictures in that album are from the Kettering walking track during my July visit, and from the 95th birthday party at Walnut Grove in early October 2007.

John Altenburg also recently contributed more JDM pictures I had not seen, including from summer 2008 (Tank's restaurant, Dayton) and December 2008 (shopping for a winter coat). I added these to the comprehensive JDM photo collection, which comprises the first slide show on this site, and appears at the other Picasa album address in the earlier post below. You can download any of these images from Picasa.

Guide to JDM Postings

May/June, 2009

Guide to the files on the public (Windows Live) share drive folder (readme file), relating to John D. Maloney and funeral (May 19, 2009), plus other links

The newly created John D. Maloney Memorial blog now appears at http://jdmfuneral.blogspot.com/. Among the postings are the obituary and this readme file from the Windows Live site, with all its pointers.Therefore, the blog URL above is all you would have to give to a friend for access to everything.

To gain access to the Windows Live files, you should use this URL:http://cid-53ef348c10c88f42.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/JDM%20movies?authkey=xcP5ZZfzd5E%24
If you're logged into Windows Live on your own account, you won't get the "authkey" section in your browser, but generally you will need that section to see the files.

Tim Maloney's YouTube channel can be found at http://www.youtube.com/user/tjmaloney
The 1956 Easter video,and several others, were too large to put on the Windows Live share drive but can be seen on YouTube.

We may upload more later.

Dayton Daily News, May 17, 2009 obituary text for JDM is posted on the Windows Live site in a file called ddnobit. It is also a posting on the blog site.

Most of the computer slide show is now on Picasa, athttp://picasaweb.google.com/tjmaloney811/JohnDMaloney19122009SlideShow#
I believe the rest of my Picasa albums can be found at simply http://picasaweb.google.com/tjmaloney811 (browser URL looks different for me), and there is some more JDM content there.

The Remembrance speech appears in Word format as well as pdf. You have to imagine the strong echo in Holy Angels church, which tends to drive one's style and choice of words. Must be a benefit of graduating from Holy Angels School in 1963 and returning often to be with one or both parents. JDM gave me a lot to draw on, over a long period of time, for this work. And then it was just like him to give me just a few days to pull it together. I did the best I could, and felt his spirit working with me during that time.

Other files:

MCB051909 is a scanned pamphlet for the Mass of Christian Burial at HA. The scripture readers changed but the pamphlet was scanned as is.

youtube-picasa-tjm: Kind of a subset of this readme file. I may remove it soon.

Photos: 10-6-51 cropped and uncropped photos, taken at the Lyle home (605 Homewood, Dayton) on that date. It was a celebration of JDM's 39th birthday (which would happen 10-8-51) just before his service in Alaska during the Korean War. The 3rd photo, the mosaic (although compressed by Windows Live) was of course built around the center of that picture. Other people in the original photo are all 4 Lyle children (Carole, Kay, Janice and Jim), my parents Ed and Anita, Grandma Maloney, Joe Maloney and Helen Altenburg (who is pregnant with Steve).

Movies are all on YouTube, plus more as noted above. This is intended as an easy way to download the mpeg versions that were uploaded to YouTube. Full DVD of the Kodak film is better quality and does exist, but is not posted on the internet. The Sam Snead 1959 movie (taken at Walnut Grove CC) has had more than 10,000 hits on YouTube.

0905MaloneyLetter: JDM's last letter, sent to nephew John Altenburg, May 8, 2009. JDM died 6 days later.

I hope this material will help all of us to remember John D. Maloney and his contribution to our lives.

Dayton Daily News Obituary

Dayton Daily News, May 17, 2009

MALONEY, John David age 96, lifelong Dayton resident, died Thursday, May 14, 2009 after a brief illness. John was born Oct. 8, 1912, in St. Bernard, Ohio, near Cincinnati, the second of six children. He graduated first in his class at the former University of Dayton Prep School in 1931 and immediately began work as a federal civil servant at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to support his widowed mother and siblings. John served as an officer in the U.S. Army Air Corps in World War II and re-entered civil service in 1946. He was called back to serve in the U.S. Air Force with the rank of major during the Korean War from 1951-53, and served mostly in Alaska. He then returned to civil service at WPAFB. In 1953, he married Anna Marita (Pat) Sharkey of Dayton. In 1956, John and Pat adopted their son Timothy J. Maloney (b. 1949) when John's older brother Edward died suddenly. John continued his civil service for the USAF at WPAFB through the 1950s and 1960s, retiring in 1970. He lived in Oakwood from 1956-2004 and retired to 10 Wilmington Place. His long life was sustained by his love of his family, his Church, the game of golf (shot his age at 87) and the University of Dayton Flyers. He was active at Holy Angels Church for over 50 years, and was a loyal UD basketball fan from 1928. He was also a founding member and officer of Walnut Grove Country Club. John kept in good health by walking and playing golf, and delighted friends and family with his Irish humor and story telling. His strength of character, loyalty and integrity will always be remembered and cherished. John's parents, siblings and beloved wife, Pat, preceded him in death. His son, Timothy, Palo Alto, Calif., sister-in-law, Norma Sharkey, Dayton, and many nieces and nephews and their children survive him. His niece, Janice Lyle Madlinger of Dayton, has the gratitude of the family for her cheerful care of her Uncle John. A prayer service will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at the Meyer-Boehmer & Reis Funeral Home, 1733 Brown St., Dayton, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 a.m. at Holy Angels Catholic Church. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery. Family will receive friends Monday, May 18, from 5-8 p.m. at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions to be sent in John Maloney's name to the Marian Library, University of Dayton, 300 College Park Drive, Dayton, 45469-1390 or to Holy Angels Church.
