The Los Angeles Times (Los Angeles, California) 18 Nov 1998, Wed
HARNEY, David Moran, born on June 30, 1924, in Marysville, California died on November 12, 1998.
David Moran Harney was the son of first generation Irish immigrants, Eileen M. Daly and George Richard Harney. He lived most of his early life in the Los Angeles area and as an undergraduate, he attended Loyola University of Los Angeles, Arizona State Teachers College and Southwestern Louisiana University. World War II interrupted his education when Mr. Harney enlisted and served in the United States Marine Corps. While in the Marines, he married Evelyn Brint Turner on March 17, 1945, in Quantico, Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Harney renewed their marriage vows on their fiftieth wedding anniversary in 1995. Subsequent to his marriage and discharge from the Marine corps he attended the University of Southern California School of Law and graduated in 1948, after serving a year as a research attorney for the California Court of Appeals in San Francisco. After a brief stint with the law firm of Wright and Garrett in Los Angeles, Mr. Harney opened his own firm in 1951 where, despite a number of name changes over the years, he remained the senior partner.
Spanning a career of fifty years, David M. Harney achieved pinnacle after pinnacle of success, both in the courtroom and by acclaim from his peers. In the courtroom, he triumphed in an unparalleled way, obtaining many verdicts that were both trailblazing as well as those that were in the millions and tens of millions of dollars. In 1983, a physicians trade journal named Mr. Harney the best plaintiff's medical malpractice lawyer in the United States, based primarily on a poll of defense lawyers. Through his career, he was involved in medical-legal teaching and authored a legal treatise entitled 'Medical Malpractice'. first published by the Allen Smith Co. in 1973.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by his two sons, Dr. Brian P. Harney, an anesthesiologist in Fallbrook, and David T. Harney, a civil trial attorney in Los Angeles who has practiced law with his father throughout his career. He is also survived by his brother, RIchard Harney; his sister, Hope Stubbe Brewer; and four grandchildren. There are also many nieces and nephews.
Mr. Harney maintained residences in Los Angeles and Pauma Valley in North County San Diego. He died on November 12, 1998, in Escondido, after a brief illness.
A Rosary will be held at the Berry-Bell and Hall Mortuary in Fallbrook on Tuesday evening, November 17. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Peter's Church in Fallbrook on Wednesday, November 18 at 11 a.m. Interment will follow at the Fallbrook Masonic Cemetery.
Donations in lieu of flowers would be greatly appreciated to the Catholic Big Brothers Inc., organization (3300 W. Temple, Los Angeles, CA 90026) or Catholic Charities (1531 W. 9th St., Los Angeles, CA 90015) or USC Law School. Obit provided by Valerie Wixen Thruelsen (47454411).
At one time David owned a beautiful old manor house on Galway Bay, Ireland (which was formerly owned by the famous director John Huston).
