Joseph (Joe) Malatino, age 75, passed away on Saturday,
March 21, 2015, peacefully and comfortably at his home, surrounded by his
loving family, in Argyle, NY.
He was born on July 11, 1939 in Castiglione di Sicilia (Catania,
Sicily, Italy) to the late Gaetano Malatino and Maria Vecchio Malatino.
Joseph graduated from Philip Schuyler High School in Albany,
NY, and graduated from Siena College in Albany, NY, with a B.S. in Physics.
Joseph joined the Navy after graduating from Siena College,
and was an Engineering Officer. After serving in the Navy, he worked as a microelectronics
engineer in the private sector that produced a communications chip utilized in
the Apollo moon landing. Later, he owned Malatino Industries and owned a retail
rental business in the Saratoga Springs area. He was especially proud of owning
and operating Dairyhaus, a local ice cream stand. During his retirement, he
obtained his teaching degree, and taught high school math and physics. He also
enjoyed private tutoring students in math, algebra, calculus and physics.
Joseph had many hobbies that included: building two Mercedes
Marlene kit cars; creating the perfect popover; cooking, baking, wine making,
woodworking, and making ice cream. One of his favorite past times was to find
the occasional error in college and graduate level calculus books, and
informing the editors.
Joseph is survived by his daughter, Maria J. Miller (David)
of Saratoga Springs; sons, Thomas F. Malatino of Florida, and Michael A. Malatino
of Saratoga Springs; brother, Anthony V. Malatino (Robin); and his nieces and
nephews, John T. Malatino (Katie) and daughter Samantha, Ann E. Clark (Jeff)
and their children Hudson and Sage, James J. Malatino (Kristen) and daughter
Aria. He is preceded in death by his parents, and sister, Graziella Malatino.
