Robert “Bob” Maloz passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 8, 2020 at the age of 82. He was the devoted husband of 57 years to the love of his life, the late Judy Wuertz Maloz. Loving father of Robin Ann Maloz. Proud grandfather of Robert Elvis Maloz. Son of the late Walter C. Maloz and Sophia Bosetto Maloz. Brother of the late Jack H. Bennett. He is also survived and fondly remembered many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends. Bob was a lifelong resident of St. Bernard Parish where he was a devoted Catholic and Parishioner at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Violet, LA for over 45 years. He proudly served his country in the United States Army at Fort Sam in Houston, TX, where he earned an Expert Badge (Carbine M-2) and Sharpshooter Badge (Rifle M-1). He was honorably discharged from his duties in 1967. He then enjoyed a long career and retired from the St. Bernard Parish Water Board where he was responsible for the Meter Readers Department for over 20 years. He loved cruising around town in his Ford Maverick and binge watching his favorite western TV shows, including Roy Rodgers, John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. He enjoyed a passion for landscaping his front yard and beautiful gardens, along with carpentry, painting, remodeling houses, watching football, playing cards and pool with his friends and family. He had a fondness for Dean Martin, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson while enjoying his coffee throughout each day. He was a true diehard Saints Fan that always included a bowl of popcorn, an ice cold beer, homemade potato salad and, of course, ice cream and cake for desert. Bob was a happy-go-lucky man who loved telling jokes or saying something funny - anything to get you to smile. He was kind to strangers, always ready with a smile and a greeting. He always said life is too short to be mad or sad, so he encouraged us to laugh and smile more often! He will be deeply missed by his loyal furbaby Jose, his family and all those whose life he has touched. Special thanks to Dr. John Thein, Dr. Jose Silva, Dr. David Meyers and the dedicated nurses and staff of Femcrest Manor for taking such good care of Mr. Bob.
