Robert H. Rooney, age 94, of St. Charles, Missouri, Tuesday, May 2, 2017. Beloved husband of Edna M. Rooney; cherished son of the late William McKinley and Anna Rooney; devoted father of Bob (Nancy) Rooney and Sharon (Phil Machwart) Lowell; loving grandfather of Robin (Dan) Popescu, Julie (Tony) Downs, Brendan Lowell, and Dillon Lowell; treasured great-grandfather of Jeffrey (Stephanie) Lowe, Sarah Lowe, Melissa (Austin) Mach, and Kaitlyn (Brandon) Zermano; dear great-great-grandfather of Aubrey, Jace, Kally Sue, and the late Logan Lowe; and cherished brother of Pat (Wayne) Ball, Eugene "Chink" Rooney, and Anna Lee (Jerry) Jordan.
He was also preceded in death by his son-in-law, Art Lowell and his siblings, Bill, Jim, Gerry, and Dick.
Bob carried smiles and lollipops in his pockets. These he shared freely with every person he met. When his Irish eyes were smilin’… you could be certain he was up to something. Bob was deeply loved, and will be missed by all who knew him.
