Malloy Family,
My heart is heavy for you and I have had you in my thoughts and prayers this past week. I worked with Pat at Jenoptik (Etamic Movomatic) since 1994 – Pat was a close friend and a great employee. Pat trained and taught me everything he knew about his job to evetually take over his position.
Pat always had great spirits about him and was very well liked in the work place and by our customers that knew him. Pat and I always shared about our families so I know he loved you dearly.
I have had many phone calls myself these past few days by people sending their condolences.
I will miss him but remember him well!

Peggy: I was stunned to hear of Pat’s passing. What a friend he has been for over 45 years. Kind, generous, thoughtful and always with the laughs in any of our conversations.

Dear Friends, like everyone else I was shocked to hear about Pat’s death. My heart goes out to you all and I’m heartbroken for myself as well. What a really great guy he was and what a fabulous cook! He had a smile that could light up a room and a laugh which made one happy even if one was sad. I shall miss him very much as will all who knew him. I will always cherish the few days Peggy, Pat and I spent in Rome last month. I’m so glad we could have lunch there. June Smith

I stumbled at first, but as I thought of “dad” I could do nothing but smile. I loved his laugh, his humor, his occasional flits of “Irish” that flared, his love of fun and all things Irish. He truly put 20# of livin’ in the 5# bag he was given’ and we are all blessed having had him in our lives. He lives on through the love, grace, and difference he put in the world. He touched so many lives and left them better, all without “giving” a single thought. I am blessed to have counted him in my life, and grateful he shared his family with me. Heaven is truly greater today for having received him, and for that, no matter how hard, we need feel comforted. You will be sorely missed my friend, thank you for sharing your family and life, even so smally with me. Ruth

I was saddened to hear of his passing. Prayers for him and the family. I worked with Patrick at Etamic / Movomatic / Hommel Etamic / Jenoptik since 2004. He was one of the people that interviewed me for my position. He was a great guy! He helped those when he could and was always nice to everybody. I enjoyed the small stories he had of his family, work and travels. I last seen him at the small retirement get together here in Michigan before I dropped him off at his hotel by the airport for his travels home in April of 2015. I have two pictures of him on this day. I hope he got to enjoy some time with family and friends. If I was closer in proximity, I definitely would pay my respects to him and the family. I’m also a 4th degree fellow Sir Knight of Knights of Columbus and Sir Knight, I will most definitely have a few shots of Jameson in honor of your memory. R.I.P. You will not be forgotten. – James Niezgoda, Michigan.

Many thoughts and prayers to all of you during this challenging time. He was a kind, gentle soul who seemed to love life and family tremedously and was taken way too soon from his loved ones.
