Robert Louis Maltony Sr., 92, passed away on Monday, January 16, 2023, peacefully at home with his loving family at his side.
Bob was born March 7, 1930, in Burgettstown, a son of the late Louis and Erma Maltony. He was a graduate of Burgettstown Union High School.
He was a man of many ambitions and held a variety of jobs including Starvagg’s, Petrucci’s Market, WM Sanitation, Jake Schneider Bus Co., and Our Lady of Lourdes as a custodian. He retired from J&L Steel in 1985.
He proudly served in the U.S. Army in the Korean War and was awarded several medals for his service.

Bob was a humble and kind man with a warm smile and always a friendly greeting to everyone. Being an avid sports fan, he enjoyed watching all Pittsburgh sports but found the most pleasure in spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
