Karl Franklin Mallory, Jr.

Karl Franklin Mallory, Jr., 87, of Jamison, PA, formerly of Maple Glen, PA, died on July 12, 2022. He was the loving husband of the late Ruth Ellen (Ironside) Mallory. Karl was born in Yonkers, NY on July 25, 1934 to the late Catherine (Riznychok) and Karl Franklin Mallory, Sr. He is survived by his children Susan Jennifer Mallory Damon (Steve Daniel), John Thomas Mallory (Debra Davis), and his grandson Miles Franklin Damon.

Karl attended Bucknell University and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. He was also in ROTC and served in the US Army, Transportation Research and Engineering Command as a Second Lieutenant Test Engineer.

Karl began his career working for Raytheon on Hawk missile systems. He went on to work at AMF, The Budd Company, and LTK.
