Robert "Bob" Sweeney

March 18, 1936 — January 19, 2023

Bob Sweeney, 86, of San Antonio, Texas, passed away peacefully in his home on January 19, 2023. Born in Chicago, Illinois, to Bernice and Robert Sweeney Sr., Bob was a salesman and retired from the U.S. Army National Guard as an SFC after 20 years of service.

Bob was an avid woodworker, traveler, casino card player, TV series watcher, and football fan. He was also a dedicated father who took an active role in coaching his children's baseball, basketball, and bowling teams. Bob's quick wit and funny anecdotes will be remembered by all who knew him.
