Edward Ralph Mallozzi, 67, owner of Bob's Sports
Edward Ralph Mallozzi of New Canaan, CT passed away at his home on Thursday afternoon, April 19, surrounded by family. He was 67 years old. He was the son of the late Robert E. and Caroline Chianelli Mallozzi.
A native of Darien, Mr. Mallozzi will be remembered by most as an energetic and friendly owner of Bob's Sports Incorporated in downtown New Canaan. A consummate artist and musician who never arrived at a party without a guitar and joke, Mr. Mallozzi possessed a unique sense of enthusiasm and fun that deeply touched those fortunate to have interacted with him.
Mr. Mallozzi graduated from Darien High School in 1962 and the University of Vermont in 1966. While at the University of Vermont, Mr. Mallozzi began playing with his two dear friends as a member of the Green Mountain Boys, a traditional folk music group that would continue to play across New England throughout his life. His love of music and performing would span such venues as New York City's The Bitter End as well as locally the Carriage Barn at Waveny Park.
