Obituary for John Michael "Mike" Maloney
MECHANICVILLE - Mr. John Michael Maloney (Mike), 79, of Raylinsky Lane, passed away peacefully in his sleep Wednesday morning. Born in Troy, April 16, 1941, Mike lived in Mechanicville all his life. He was predeceased by his wife of 54 years, Susan (Costanzo) Maloney. Mike was the son of the late John H. Maloney and Mary Elizabeth O’Connor Maloney.

Mike was employed as a Tool and Die Designer, working for Simmons Fastener Corp, AmFast Corp, Blasch Precision Ceramics, and Albany International.

In his free time, Mike enjoyed working on projects around the house, gardening, hunting, fishing and anything involving the outdoors. He had a passion for drawing, sketching, painting, and sculpting. Many of his paintings can be seen gracing the walls of his relative’s homes.
He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and enjoyed spending quality time with his wife, children, and especially his two granddaughters, Erin and Megan. Mike loved to laugh, share stories and was quick to see the humor in things, even if it was at his own expense.
