Mooney was also a member of the U.S. Marine Corps for 29 years, serving overseas and seeing combat in Iraq. Mooney retired in 2010 with the rank of Major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mooney was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many, said his department, who said “our hearts and prayers are with his wife, children and grandchildren. No details concerning funeral services were released Sunday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
