William F Maloney (Bill), 85 of Peoria, AZ, closed his eyes on this world & opened them in the next, on July 31, 2017. He was immediately, re-united with his wife Agnes, seeing the love of his life for the very 1st time; Bill was totally blind. Their reunion was witnessed by his brother Jack, son Patrick, & daughters Colleen & Diane Maloney. His stone-hard determination, resilience, unwavering faith and eternal sense of humor, let Bill live a very full life. Injured as a paratrooper, 82nd Airborne, he went on to be successful in the field of sales. Bill & Aggie with their 6 kids, relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona from Ohio in 1973, where he became the only Blind Real Estate agent in the country. Partnering with his wife Agnes, their success was touted by local newspapers & TV Stations, for 30 years. Joined by their daughter Mary in 1985, they invented the 1st Real Estate “Team”… “The Maloney’s”: the team lives on to this day, through Mary & brother Mike. Bill is survived by brother Tom, children Mary, Maureen & Mike Maloney, 10 grandchildren & 4 Great-Grandchildren. Join us in celebrating his life this weekend: Visitation will be from 6:00-9:00 P.M. on Friday, August 4, 2017 at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 E. Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85018.

To the Maloney family: my deepest sympathy on the passing of your wonderful dad. His obituary is written so beautifully, the immense love and respect you had for him is so apparent in this script. I remember so well his children walking arm and arm through the neighborhood with him and how full my heart was when I saw you. Thank you for sharing his life with us in this beautiful memorial of a life well lived and full of love, success and adventure. Thank you for all the years of being good neighbors. God bless you all.
Much love, Cat Stulik

To all the Maloney’s……….We have such fond memories of going over to Bill and Aggies house when our children were young. Aggie always thought we needed to be fed and took our kids under her wing as she did me when she found my mom had just passed. Christmas eves at the Maloneys was always so fun we are so proud to be part of the Maloney extended family. They are an incredible Bunch!!!!

Mary and family –
Your father was such a fun, lively man. I know how much you will miss him. The ultimate Irishman. I loved going to Irish pubs with your folks back in the 80s. He is with his beloved wife now and will look down on you all with a big smile.
