Our beloved husband, father, brother Robert Louis Heaney passed away after a short but annoying illness. He is survived by his wife of 41 1/2 years, Gina, and his two sons Alex and Johnathan, and his brother George.
Robert was born in Orange, California, in Orange County (fancy that) on December 23, 1956. His parents were John and Sandy Heaney, a couple of real swells. He met the love of his life Gina while they were attending Santa Ana High School. They went their separate ways for a few years but got back together after college and were married on March 17, 1984.
In 1988, the Heaney family consisting of Robert, Gia, and the new guy Alex, all moved to Spokane in search of affordable housing. Little did they know that they would spend the rest of their lives there. Robert worked for the United Postal Service as a mail handler for over 42 years.
