AMBROSE HARNEY
Iowa City
"Joe", 78, of San Rafael, Calif., formerly of Iowa City, died Sunday, June 22, 2014, at Marin General Hospital in San Rafael due to injuries from a job site fall.
Joe was born in Iowa City, the son of Ambrose and Rose Roit Harney. He was a graduate of St. Mary's High School. Joe lived in Iowa City for many years where he owned Joe's Deep Rock Service Station, had been employed at Shay Electric and was a deputy sheriff with the Johnson County Sheriff's Office from 1967 to 1972.
In the early 1970s, Joe moved to San Rafael, Calif., where he owned Harney Electric and worked on many projects, including the Charles Schulz museum, George Lucas ("Star Wars") production offices and the San Francisco airport.
Joe was a hard worker and loved to fish and watch wildlife. He had a kind heart and always sported a great smile. Joe would do anything he could to assist anyone, without expecting anything in return. He also enjoyed traveling home to visit family and friends.
Survivors include his four daughters of North Liberty; four grandsons; his longtime female companion; nine siblings; his former spouse and mother of their four daughters; and many nieces and nephews.
Preceded in death by his parents; four siblings, Francis, Vincent and Thomas Harney and Vivian Clemen; his brother- and sister-in-law, Milo Dlouhy and Sandy Harney; nieces, Kristen Clemen, Mary Ann Clemen and Debbie (Harney) Kleiboer; nephew, Timothy Harney; and great-niece, Bailey Parker.

A Celebration of Life luncheon will take place from noon to 4 p.m. Friday, July 18, at the Knights of Columbus Family Center, 4776 American Legion Rd., Iowa City, IA 52240.
In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer memorials be made to the Ambrose Joseph "Joe" Harney Memorial Fund.
