I loved your dad so much!! No matter what he always made you feel welcome and loved. Not to mention his great sense of humor 😜 He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all😢❤️

Dear Mary,
I am so very sorry for your loss. While I didn't know your dad well I could see that he brought light, love and laughter with him when he'd walk into a room. I told him that he was like a "cup of coffee" with his frenetic and highly entertaining way of telling stories. I got worn out just watching him LOL! We are all sad for losing such a "larger than life", charismatic person but I imagine heaven is now a much funnier place. Thank you, Bob for your service, kindness and humor and for helping your fellow humans to be better people. Andrea

I never thought reflecting back on my first job, twenty years ago, from 16 years old would bring me such fond memories and happiness. I was a department head with your dad for several years and had the pleasure of laughing and working along side him while at Treesdale. His big bear hugs and contagious laugh is something I will cherish. Know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers as he meets with the Lord and starts cooking for him 🙏🏻 Chef, you will be missed.

When I first met Bob in July of 2015, I wasn’t the kind of girl many people wanted to be around. Your Dad saw right through that exterior and immediately started calling me names, making fun of me, and showing me that people can truly live a happy, joyous and free life. Your Dad often spoke of his three kids, telling stories of your accomplishments and travels, and he was so proud of each of you. Please know that every moment he spent at meetings, retreats, or with “us” - he was literally helping to save lives. He doled out hope and love and laughter everywhere he went. My heart is so heavy for you. I hope these messages will give you the smallest understanding of how loved your Dad is, and how big his impact on us was. ❤️

My deepest sympathies to your whole family-- we knew your Dad from His Diamond Run days --- he was always so happy and proud of what he whipped up in that kitchen ! Always smiling - what a great guy...rest easy Chef Bob

Most 20-21 year olds don’t exactly look forward to going to work on Saturday. I did. Because I worked with the best people. I will never have another boss as amazing as Bob. I loved going to work. I have yet to feel as appreciated in any job that I have done since. And the times we had won’t be topped, I’m sure of that. I have never, consistently, laughed so hard ( and been fed so well). One of my favorite things was enjoying Bob making fun of my brother. I mean who wouldn’t love that? My brother gave me flowers once on my birthday ( if you know him you know that isn’t something he does), it didn’t take me very long to realize he had worked a wake. He said they were just going to throw them out anyways!! I can promise you he didn’t think of that on his own, I wish Bob could have seen my face. All joking aside, what an amazing person. What a huge personality. Heaven gained a great gift. We’ll miss you here. All my love 💜

My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Malone family. I went to St. Teresa’s with Bob and grew up in the same neighborhood as him. He was a great guy from a great family! He catered my high school reunion ten years ago and I can still hear him saying “hey girlfriend, how are you doin?”

Mary, I worked with your dad at treeadale. He always cheered me up and made me feel welcome. He was so caring, friendly, and kind, just like you! Prayers to you and your family❤️

I’m so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are prayers are with you and your family. Your dad was a wonderful man.

I've known your dad for over 10 years and your mom and I go all the way back to grade school. Your Dad inspired me each and every time I saw him, yet the one conversation at stands out is when I talked to him about my decision to go to graduate school for counseling with only 2 years sober at e age of 39. He smiled and told me I'd be a great drug and alcohol counselor as long as I " Stayed on my Square"! He hugged me and every time I saw him after that, he made a point to check on me and make I was doing alright. I have quoted his words to many, if not all of my clients, as a reminder of the importance of taking care of themselves as they work to stay clean and sober, one day at a time! His inspiration will continue to help others as I promise to continue to spread the message -" Stay on my Square". Love to all of you!
