William Manning Malloy ’45

Bill Malloy died Nov. 4, 2000, at his home in Cheraw, S.C. "Duke" entered Princeton from Woodberry Forrest, having resided in Cheraw all of his life. At Princeton he became a member of the Tower Club, but the Navy sent him to Cornell, from which he received his degree. He then returned to Cheraw to enter the family business and married the former Marion Plowden in 1947. By 1963, Duke had taken over as president of the Cheraw Cotton Mills. Throughout his life Duke was active in many civic endeavors, including the Kiwanis Club and the Chamber of Commerce. Within the Presbyterian Church he became an elder and a commissioner to its general assembly. Duke and Marion divorced in 1971, and in 1977 he married the former Shirley Kennedy, who predeceased him. Duke is survived by his son, William Jr., and three daughters, Marion M. Murphy, Margaret M. Sanders, and Mary M. Blackburn, all by Marion, and by three stepchildren, nine grandchildren, and one great-grandchild, plus his brother, Edwin Jr. The class extends its sympathy to all.
