Harry A. Mooney
d. July 11, 2008
ALBANY- Harry A. Mooney, 76, of Albany, passed away on Friday July 11, 2008 at his residence after a long illness.
He was born in Susquehanna, PA and was the son of the late James and Esther Ahearn Mooney. Harry had served in the US Navy from 1951 through 1955. He was an insurance evaluator with Continental Insurance Company and then for 25 years with NYS Department of Motor Vehicles, retiring in 1990. He later worked with the Jewish Community Center providing transportation and delivering Meals on Wheels. Harry enjoyed Siena basketball, baseball, fishing and engaging in political discourse.
He was a true Irish story teller with the heart of a poet, frequently reciting and more recently, writing his own poetry. He was a friend of Bill W's and through this fellowship he became known to many simply as Harry the Hat. He was most grateful for his family and the love of his beautiful wife of fifty years.
Harry is the beloved husband of Helen Neeson Mooney. He was predeceased by his eldest daughter, Marie Conde (Jim Conde). He is the devoted father of Mary Costantino, Michael Mooney (Rebecca Spence), Kate Mooney, Martin Mooney (Jennifer), Maureen Whalen (Dave) and Thomas Mooney. He is the brother of Sister Joan Mooney, IHM, the late Mary Byron, the late Kevin Mooney and cherished uncle of Betsy Mooney. He is the grandfather of Ryan, Jason, Colin, Eric, Clara, David, Sarah and Erin. Many nieces and nephews also survive.
Harry's family expresses its deepest gratitude to Dr Abul Azad for his constant care provided to Harry.
