Summary

Robert V. Malloy (1922–1993), a son of Joseph Lawrence Malloy and Ethel McDonough Malloy of St. James, returned home from sailing for the Christmas 1959 holidays, according to the Beaver Beacon.

Evidence and limits

The parent names in the 1963 obituary for his mother and the cemetery index corroborate the identity and lifespan; the cemetery index lists Loretta Loyola “Loy” Malloy as a sister sharing the same parents — see Loretta Loyola "Loy" Malloy. The 1959 homecoming notice gives no vessel, route, or employer for his sailing work.
