John Patrick Maley II, 86, Vero Beach
March 11, 1934 – January 6, 2021
With great sadness we announce the passing of John Patrick “Pat” Maley II of Vero Beach, FL on January 6th, 2021. He will be sorely missed by his loving wife of 65 years, Elsie “Lorraine” Maley; his four children: Michele Smith of Newcastle, ON, Margot Eastham of New Glarus, WI, John Patrick Maley III (Jodi L. Maley) of Austin, TX, and Jonathan Edwin Maley (Stephanie L. Maley) of Mentor, OH; his ten grandchildren: Michael (Heather) Smith, Ryan (Laura) Smith, Kaleigh (Gavin) Wolfe, Lorraine (Xander) Eastham, Rebecca Eastham, Clayton Eastham, Hanna (Chris) Ward, J.P. Maley IV, Jonathan Maley, and Patrick Maley; and his three great-grandchildren Cayden Smith, Brady Smith, and Morrison Ward. His loss is also grieved by his devoted sister Mary Egan of Toronto; cousin Bruce Lehtinen and Bruce’s children, Erik & Jodi Lehtinen, all of Thunder Bay; cousin Margeurite “Bunny” Turner of Ottawa; and cousin Barry Bagdon of Thunder Bay. He was predeceased by his brother Dr. Garnet James Maley, his mother Mary Maley, and his father John Patrick “Jay” Maley.
Pat was born in Port Arthur, ON on March 11th, 1934. He grew up and went to grade school in Cameron Falls, a small Ontario Hydro townsite located on the Nipigon River. Pat went to high school in Nipigon and finished his last year in Fort William, at FWCI. During that year, he met the love of his life, Lorraine. Pat and Lorraine went on together to Queens University in Kingston, where they married and both graduated, he as a Mechanical Engineer in 1956.
In his early years, Pat had many adventures working as a fishing guide on Lake Nipigon, and in the remote lumber camps of the Nipigon area. After graduating from Queens University, Pat began his remarkable career in the Paper Industry working for Abitibi Pulp and Paper in Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie. Pat then joined Boise Cascade as Manager for their mill in Fort Frances. In 1976, Pat moved to Appleton, WI to join Repap as one of the senior officers of the newly-formed company. Over the next 16 years, Repap would become one of North America’s largest coated paper producers with operations in Kimberly, WI, Newcastle, NB, and many other locations. At the Kimberly mill, Pat built two world-class lightweight coated paper machines, the largest of which was named “Sweet Lorraine” in honor of his wonderful wife. In Newcastle, Pat and his team transformed the Miramichi mill into another Industry-leading pulp & paper operation. Pat retired from Repap in 1992, and spent the remainder of his years at his home in Vero Beach and at his summer camp outside of Thunder Bay on Dog Lake.
Pat was a skilled outdoorsman who loved to fish and hunt in beautiful Northwestern Ontario. In the summer, Pat loved running his boat into the wilderness of the Dog River to catch walleyes for supper with his family and friends. He also loved trips with his dear friend Bill Dutchak to fish the area’s remote creeks and rivers for wild speckled trout. In the winter, Pat loved to take family and friends on his boat to fish for saltwater gamefish in the Gulf Stream off the Florida coast. Pat was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and a true friend who deeply loved his family and friends, and shared his knowledge and love of the outdoors with them. Pat was a brilliant man with a big, engaging personality and countless entertaining stories which he published in his book, Rabbit Stew. He made many long-lasting friendships throughout his life and career. In business and in his personal life, Pat was a person whom you could count on and trust, no matter the circumstance. His family and his many friends loved him dearly and will deeply miss his love, his quick wit and easy laugh, his great stories and “larger than life” personality. Pat was truly “one of a kind.”
Pat’s family is hoping to have an Irish Wake to celebrate his life later this summer at his camp at Dog Lake. For those who would like to do so, in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to your favorite charity in Pat’s honor.
