Tom married the love of his life Patricia Hartman on April 11th, 1959, at St Charles Church in Chippewa Falls, WI.
Together they raised five children Victoria Jordan, Laura Rooney, Christine Barnhart, Paul (Dawn) Rooney and Alan (Lisa) Rooney.
Tom cherished his time with his family and with his grandchildren Jessica DePaola, Michael (Amie Bong) Rooney, Nicole Rooney, Meghan (Josh) Fisher, Sean (Daisy) Rooney, Jon (Hannah) Rooney.
Tom loved seeing his seven great-grandchildren, Amelia DePaola, Kennedy Rooney, Lucas Fisher, Bella Rooney, Chase Fisher, Ryleigh Rooney, and Carson Rooney.
When Tom was not spending time with his family, you could find Tom and Pat out on the golf course. One of the highlights of Tom’s golfing was a Hole In One at Sunland Village Golf Course on the 5th hole.
Tom was not only a great father and grandfather, but he was also a brother to Maryann (Larry) Muldoon, Richard (Barbara) Rooney and Linda (John) Altman.
Tom’s contagious smile will be missed by many including his nieces and nephews and many friends.
Beside being proceeded in death by his parents Mary and John Rooney he was also proceeded by his brothers, Donald Rooney and John Rooney, and an infant daughter Nancy Rooney.
He was a “Great & Dear” friend and will always be in our hearts. The memories are unbelievable and will never be forgotten. When I let the kids know of his passing, they had so many memories that they shared with me. His Smile, the Pancake Breakfast when he served you the Special dish, the “BEST” Grasshopper maker in Bloomindale, the Haunted House @ Du Gardin, deer hunting with the boys, his Kindness. Most of all, letting Sargis/Rivkin stay with you when we came back from CA. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We can never “Thank You” enough for allowing us to be your friends. Oh, I forgot, the best. When Tom & I went out for our after Thanksgiving lunch. We came to my house to meet you & others, Bertie opened the door, she was shocked to see him. He said, “You ought to see him, if you think I’m bad”. It was a heck of an evening.
