IN MEMORY FLL DRINK TO THAT! PNl Paul M. Maloney Sr. A shipmate ' s letter to PNl PAUL MICHAEL MALONEY SR. Born: August 26,1953 Departed: March 28,1991 Paul, it seems like only yesterday that we all received the fateful news of your passing. All of us were shocked that such a great friend and shipmate could die so young. You have left us a precious gift though, a gift of wonderful memories. Memories of when we were in Tijuana when you volun- teered to do the bargaining for those cheap blankets, and that real imitation Rolex watch that you bought. We also had a wild and crazy time in San Francisco. Chinatown will never be the same without you. For the new shipmates who never got the honor of meeting you, I just tell them that Paul Maloney was a 4.0 sailor who worked hard and played hard. Paul you were always the life of the party, the guy everyone wanted to be around. Your fellow shipmates and I salute you and are proud to say you were our friend. Don ' t worry about Mitzi and the kids, they are doing fine. 219
