Uwe Maldener
On February 29, 2016 of Sicklerville. Age 59. Beloved husband of Tatiana (nee Khitrovo). Devoted father of Alice, Jolene and Joshua. Dear son of Siegfried and Marita Maldener. Loving grandfather of Taryn, Lucas, Kyla, Gavin and Jacob. Proud great-grandfather of Farrah. Dear brother of Eileen Lazarus (Matt). Loving sister in-law of Katia Borges. Loving uncle of Zachary, Kyle, Conor and Eva.
Uwe was more than a husband to me. When I met him for the first time I was instantly taken away by his thoughtful attention and unmatched sense of humor. He had a great presence and was quick to find a connection to any person of any background. He was always in a center of attention and a life of any party. People just gravitated to him eager to engage into a fun conversation or a serious heart to heart discussion. I quickly realized that this is the best match and a man I knew I can spend the rest of my life together. He was everything to me: a husband, a true reliable friend, a compassionate listener and a shoulder to cry on, and most recently a very attentive and gentle father to our daughter Alice, whom he just adored and did not want to part with for a moment, even for work.
Uwe had many interests and hobbies: very passionate Formula One fan, aircraft and flight control enthusiast, handyman, who was proud of his ability to fix things, although some of his projects were better than others, but this “can do” attitude towards life was contagious. We loved to travel and explore other countries and cultures, and even abroad in a country with a different language spoken, he would find a way to connect to any person. You should have seen him when we traveled to Russia among Russian friends and family, or how he called them “russkis”, having the greatest time and again the center of a conversation, charming self. He loved the sun and the beach, he loved life and he loved me. I always felt loved and secure, protected and cared for.
Farewell, my Love. You will forever be in my mind, my heart and in my arms in the form of this precious gift you left me- our Alice. One day we will be together again, but for now, you will always be a part of me.
Viewing and funeral service and entombment at All Saints Cemetery will be private for family.
