Robert Maley

Maley Jr. Robert Emery Dr. Robert Maley, age 64, of Toledo, passed away on Friday, May 21, 2010 at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor. He was born in Toledo, Ohio on November 23, 1945 at Flower Hospital to Robert E. Maley Sr. and Glenny V. Maley. Bob grew up in Toledo attending Sherman Elementary School, Wernert Grade School and graduated from Whitmer High School in 1963. He attended the University of Toledo College of Arts and Sciences receiving a Bachelors of Science Degree in Chemistry in 1967. Bob was a member of Phi Kappa Psi social fraternity and the university branch of the YMCA. After graduating from the University of Toledo, Bob was accepted into the Dental School at the University of Michigan where he received the best education in the field that our country offered. Following graduation in 1971, he served with the United States Public Health Service attached to the Coast Guard in Elizabeth City, NC. It was there that his first child, Eric, was born. Upon returning to Toledo in 1973, Bob began his career in private practice on Monroe Street. His treatment philosophy was to treat others as he would want to be treated and that the true definition of a professional is placing their care ahead of personal interests. He was a member of the Toledo Dental Society, the Ohio Dental Association and the American Dental Association. Bob served as president in 1991 of the Toledo Dental Society. He also was involved in establishing a homeless clinic exclusive to dentistry, which was the first such clinic in the nation. He also served as vice-president of the Health Clinic International during this time. He continued to provide care throughout the AIDS epidemic scare when the cause/effect or safety of care providers was not entirely known. His love of Sand Lake in the Irish Hills enabled the family to make many life long relationships there from 1956 to the present day. His hobbies included golf, travel, sailing, snowmobiling, and anything new to experience. He was a member of St. Matthews Episcopal Church and past Senior Warden of the Vestry. He was very blessed by the spiritual guidance of Father Joe and his late wife, Linda. Bob is survived by his wife of 42 years, Carol; mother, Glenny Maley; sons, Eric Becky and Matthew Renee; daughter, Stephanie Brian Green; grandchildren, Evan & Katie Maley, Andrew & Blake Maley; brother, Jeff Tonya Maley; his dog, Chelsea; many nieces and nephews; and many friends.
