Our condolences to the Maloney family for your loss. We have fond memories of John, he was a hard worker who was keen to find ways to re-use products in an effort to not waste and ultimately eliminate the need to purchase something new. He became known to us as “John of all Trades” and his smile would light up a room. We hope his celebration of life was a great time to reflect on your memories with him. Take care.
