Bill Malone (58) of Canaan, NH passed away peacefully surrounded by his family and friends on December 25, 2020. after a courageous battle with cancer.

Bill was born March 2, 1962 in Memphis, TN to Carl and Charlene (Russell) Malone. He wasn't familiar with NH but came here with his friend Larry Tremblay in early 80s and liked it so much he made it his home. On July 21, 1990 he married the love of his life, Melissa LeBlanc.

He was not afraid of work and found a lot of different jobs. He has been working at Sheridan
Group in Hanover, NH for 38 Years and became a Lead Operator along with his work partner and good friend Mark Snider. The two of them working together became a valuable asset to the company. In his spare time from his real job, Bill started his own company "Malone's Roofing" which he had to close last year due to his health problems. He was always the happiest when he was busy doing something and usually for someone else who needed his help.

In the late 80' s Bill started flying airplane models and became friends with Dr Walter Moore and together they created the "Broken Prop RC Club."  Later Bill and Walter decided to take flying lessons so they could fly themselves instead of just models. They and another friend, Dan Warner, were flying their ultra light planes around the area every chance they got after that.

Bill and Melissa also enjoyed riding his Harley motorcycle on trips as often as they could make time to do it. They also enjoyed taking vacations together especially with family and friends on cruises.

Bill Malone was a good man that would go the extra mile to do anything for his family and friends. He will forever be missed but never forgotten.

Melissa and his family would like to give a special thanks to the staff at DHMC, and Jack Byrne Center for Hospice Care. Words cannot express how grateful we all are for how wonderful each and everyone of you were to Bill and our family during his last days.

He is survived by his wife, Melissa, and 3 children and 4 grandchildren: Two daughters, Sonia Malone (Jay Stulz) and grandson Aguer; Ashley Malone (Corey Hamel) and grandson Malikai; one son Adrian (Kristine) Smith and granddaughters Lillian Jean and Violet.
