Thomas Edward Harney, Jr., 88, of Ephrata, passed away at Conestoga View on February 4, 2018. Born in Fargo, ND, he was the son of the late Thomas Edward Harney, Sr. and Mayre (Healy) Harney.
At a young age, Tom became a proud member of the U.S. Navy and served at the end of World War II. He was stationed in Newport, RI on the USS Missouri and the USS Rochester. After two years of service, he attended the University of Notre Dame and Canisius College on the G.I. Bill.

Though he loved working in sales, his true love was Notre Dame Football. Go Irish!
