He enjoyed working on and building computers and had worked for most of the large computer technology companies through the years.

He is survived by his wife, Louise Roney; daughter, Debbie Rhea of Trinity, TX; son, James E.

Roney, niece, Elaine Bready and nephew, Stephen Roney. 12 Grandchildren, 22 Great Grandchildren and 3 great great grandchildren.
