Frank Cooney
Obituary of Frank Cooney, church worker and factory manager; born August 13, 1920; died November 9, 2007.Frank Cooney, who has died aged 87 after a long illness, lived all of his life in the Clydeside village of Blantyre. In his concern for the social and spiritual well-being of his community, however, he imbued the international outlook and civic spiritedness of Blantyre's most notable native, the missionary-explorer David Livingstone.
A loving husband and dedicated family man, Cooney was universally esteemed for his rigorous but fair work ethic as production manager at the Hoover plant in Cambuslang.
In his leisure time, both before his retirement in 1982 and especially afterwards, he made a voluntary commitment to assist the sick and the poor through his involvement in the lay Catholic Society of St Vincent de Paul, of which he was a member for 67 years.
