After some years he came to live in New South Wales with his daughter. He passed away at his daughter's home at Long Point (Bass Point).

The Moloney family lived at Bass Point, and John Snr was the foreman for South Coast Road Metal Quarries. Whilst working for the Quarry (Then GL Fuller's) in 1901, John was witness to the wreck of the 'Alexander Berry' off Bass Point.

Maloney's (sic) Bay at Bass Point is named for the family.
