Robert Paul “Bob” Maly was born to Marie and John Maly on September 24, 1946 and grew up in Creighton, Nebraska. Bob was the eighth of nine children and graduated from St. Ludger Catholic High School in 1964. Bob served in the United States Army from 1966-1968. In September of 1969, Bob married the love of his life, Deloris Ann Chvala. They were blessed with three daughters, Regina, Brenda, and Marie. Bob was a 42-year employee of Father Flanagan’s Boys Town in the food service department. He retired in 2009 as one of the most tenured employees. Bob truly enjoyed working with the youth and supporting their athletic events and achievements. A lifetime Yankees fan, traveling to New York City to see games at Yankee Stadium brought him great joy. Bob also enjoyed watching Husker Football and Volleyball. Other favorite pastimes were golfing, bowling, and neighborhood card games. The highlight of Bob’s life was spending time with his 11 grandchildren; attending their programs, athletic events, teaching them to drive, playing games, and telling jokes, and trips to Florida.

    To the Maly family I send my most sincere condolences and will you in my prayers. I had the privilege of working with Bob for many years at Boys Town and I was blessed to enjoy his friendship and leadership of the Food Services program. He always had a solution to problems that arose and solved them with common sense and grace. He made sure that my “Santa” throne was ready for greeting the kids and was kind and gracious to his staff and those he worked with. Too often you don’t get the opportunity to work with and enjoy the company of such a fine person…I was proud to have known and worked with Bob! I suspect there are a few Yankees he is discussing things with now in the heavenly ballpark. God speed Bob!

    Bob and my dad, Cy Tworek, shared many adventures at Boys Town. Bob was always helping the auxiliary and a good friend to us all.

    My deepest sympathy is sent to the entire Maly family. I had the pleasure of knowing Bob many years while he was still working at Boys Town. He was dedicated to the Mission and exemplified it for us all! May your memories bring you lasting comfort.

    I called Bob out of the blue a week or two together to remind him that my Braves had one the World Series. My time at Boys Town at the Great Hall and working under Bob are my most favorable memories serving the youth of the great township founded by Father Flanagan. Bob was a professional; he taught me much. He was a great learner as he embraced the ideas I brought to the department. We were as good as friends as we were colleagues. I scheduled a time to meet up with him in February; as that will not happen he will always have a place in my heart. I miss him dearly and I am greatly saddened by this loss. God speed to you Bob, we will meet again but hopefully not too soon.
