The i n d u s t r y suffered a
grievous loss by the death of
George D. Moloney, vice-presi­
dent and general manager of
Lion Manufacturing Corpora­
tion and Bally Manufacturing
Company, who died e a r l y
Thursday morning, November
4, 1943, at Wesley Memorial
Hospital, Chicago. The cause
of his death was post-operative
pneumonia following a serious
abdominal operation. He was
thirty-six years of age.
Mr. Moloney’s death is par­
ticularly tragic coming at a
time when he should have been
wearing the laurels of official
recognition for his part in the
war effort. Because of his ill­
ness, which attacked him on
the eve of the ceremony by
which Lion Manufacturing Cor­
poration was a w a r d e d the
Army-Navy “E” Award, Mr.
Moloney was unable to attend
an event which in large part
was a personal tribute to him.
Chiefly to him belongs credit
for the rapid conversion of the
Lion plant from civilian to war
production.
Mr. Mololney leaves a wife,
Mrs. Celia Moloney and daugh­
ter Shelia. Other Chicago mem­
bers of his f a m i l y are his
brother Raymond T. Moloney,
president of Lion Manufactur­
ing Corporation; his s i s t e r
Helen K. Moloney, and brothers
Daniel J. and Earl F. Moloney.
A brother, Harold Moloney,
and sister, Mrs. Alice Murphy,
reside in Cleveland.
