Harold C. Malstrom

Harold, Hal, H.C. Malstrom, Born October 27, 1920 in Chicago, IL. Married Darlene J. Rohn on January 16, 1954; received into Heaven July 12, 2015. Loving father, brother, brother-in-law, grandparent, great-grandparent and friend to many. Dad was a WWII veteran, who served in the Navy. He achieved the rank Aviation Machinist Mate 2nd Class (USNR). He was a lifeguard and worked on Navy Pier. If a sailor was having difficulty fulfilling his requirement, Dad would help him. Hal worked for Timken Roller-Bearing company for 36 years. He joked that he had been retired almost longer than he worked. He started in Denver, Colorado and was there for a short time and then moved to Florissant. He covered 7 states and traveled from Monday thru Friday. Dad loved his vacations in Wisconsin; especially when he could chase the nephews on the beach or off the dock. He loved to fish and golf up there. When Dad was home he liked to spend time with all of us. It was a common occurrence for the neighbor kids to come over and ask if he could "come out and play." Church was very important to Dad; whether it was teaching Sunday School, singing in the choir or helping out with the church upkeep, Dad was always very active. He used to play on the church bowling league and softball team. Dad loved playing cards, especially pinochle. Sailing was always a fun thing for us to do. He always golfed on Saturday at Cloverleaf Golf Course in Alton. He hated to stop when he had his stroke. He even took our German Shepherd with him and she knew to not go on the greens. Most of the fellow golfers knew the dogs name but not my Dad's name. We always knew to never call when Dad was watching Wheel of Fortune or the Cardinals; his favorite past times. Dad was a great supporter of charities. He taught us to always give back and he did that by his example. If you choose to make a donation or memorial in his honor, we suggest Lutheran Church of Atonement or Breeze Park Lutheran Senior Services or any charity of choice would be fine. He will be greatly missed, but his laugh and smile will live on forever. Your loving family: Jovan, Daina, Joann, Randy, Shawn , Tyler, Jeff, Michelle, Pepe, Jennifer, Ashton, Andres and Avana. Visitation at Lutheran Church of the Atonement, 1285 New Florissant Rd., Florissant MO., 9- 11am, Sat., July 18, followed by funeral service at 11am. Funeral services will conclude at the church.
