87th-Infantry-Division  > Personal Remembrances > Honoring fellow 87th Infantry Division Friends... Here's to William Regis O'Malley
The world has lost another of the Greatest Generation...
It is with sadness that I relay the passing of my father…William Regis O’Malley of the Golden Acorn Division.
He looked forward to all his army reunions and receiving emails from all of you. Know that he passed away peacefully.
I would like to think it was a happy death if there is such a thing.
He will be buried in the Cemetery of the Alleghenies with a military service.
He even chose a military casket.

Sincerely,
MaryEllen O’Malley Martin

We had a very special Christmas in 2007. 
We went to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for 10 days for a family Christmas. 

I kept telling everyone that this would be the Christmas to remember and “pulled out all the stops” when it came to planning activities. I just thought we would not have the money to do it in 2008…never thinking it would be dad’s last Christmas with us!
