The youngest of nine children, Bob attended school in a one-room schoolhouse and later at St. Patrick's High School in Garryowen. He entered the navy in January 1945 and was discharged in September 1946. He then attended Loras College in Dubuque worked numerous jobs, including as a ham boner at the Dubuque Packing Company and a salesman at Capital Tobacco. He married Milly Hayes in 1951 and raised five kids. Most people don't know that in 1962 Bob founded Chicken Palace on University Avenue. The business is still in operation today. He and Milly were proprietors of Feeney Insurance Agency until their retirement in 1992. He was a founding member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians Dubuque County Division 2 and active in Knights of Columbus, Serra Club, American Legion, and Dubuque South End Club. He was a volunteer at the Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium from its opening in 2003 until 2020. Bob was also the "keeper of the jar." He traveled extensively, especially in his later years. Ireland, the Baltic States, Quebec, Cuba, and Las Vegas were the highlights of his travels. He is preceded in death by his wife, Milly; his parents, William and Mary Rose; his son Don; and his eight siblings: Gerald, Harold, Joe, Mary Catherine, Loras, Tom, Bill and Paul. Bob loved his family; his country; his Packers, White Sox and Hawkeyes; and God. The family wishes to thank the kind staff at MercyOne Hospital, Eagle Pointe Place assisted living facility and Stonehill Care Center. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund will be established.
