I as Pat remember Dad Mooney as a fun loving person, a person who loved his family and life who will be deeply missed. I love all of my extended family, even though we live miles apart, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I can't think of any words that can make you feel any better, as I have been in your shoes too. Only time heals. I love and miss you!

I remember Chas as Dad Mooney, he tried to keep us teenage girls in line which was a chore in itself. He was always working on his boat in the garage or going hunting and fishing. He would joke around and be silly with us, which made each day better. Once we all could drive and go on road trips, he was always giving us safety tips and showed us how to keep a car safe. He had a true and loving heart that cared for us and his family. When I left California 30+ years ago, I left a great extended family that always will have a special place in my heart. Mom Mooney, I love you and of course Kathy, your my little sister and I love you too. God Bless.
