Francis T Maloney

Hospital, in Prince’s Bay.

After graduating from Port Richmond High School, he served in the U.S. Navy from 1954 to 1958, and in the Naval Reserves from 1964 to 1968, achieving the rank of chief petty officer. He was stationed aboard a minesweeper that sailed off the coasts of England, Belgium and Portugal. When his ship sailed into Prince Rainier’s yacht basin in Monaco, the prince came aboard and greeted the crew, Mr. Maloney’s family said.

He moved to Great Kills in 1968, then lived in West Brighton in the 1990s, but returned to Great Kills in 2002.

Mr. Maloney was a chief marine engineer/port engineer on the Staten Island Ferry for the city Department of Marine and Aviation. He retired in 1987 after 25 years of service.

After retiring, he worked part-time as a chief engineer on the Cape May Ferry in New Jersey with his son, Frank, who also was a chief engineer.

Mr. Maloney had a summer home in Wildwood Crest, N.J., and a winter home in New Port Richey, Fla., for the past 10 years. He looked forward to Easter vacation time when his grandchildren would visit him in Florida and he would have baby chickens and ducks for all of them.

He enjoyed hunting and fishing and for many years had a hunting camp in upstate Speculator, in the Adirondacks.

Mr. Maloney was a member of Tompkins Lodge of Masons, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the National Rifle Association.

Surviving are his wife of 10 years, the former Isabelle Sgro; his son, Francis T. III; his stepson, Michael Carbonara; his daughters, Linda Clarke, Laura O’Toole and Lisa Maloney; his stepdaughters Michele Carbonara, Lisa Schultz and Robyn Ragona; a sister, Diana Williams, and 15 grandchildren.
