I've been looking into Lin Sue Cooney and her father in law C.E. "Pep" Cooney who ran the broadcasting for Gannett in Phoenix. I noticed that Pep Cooney had a brother named Lloyd Cooney who held almost the same position in Seattle WA. This guy had his hands in everything. It's interesting that his wife comes from Magna UT, the same place Huber's family is from. Now I'm looking for any relationship to Hunter's partner Bevan Cooney.

 

loyd E. Cooney, 90, of Yarrow Point, WA passed away, Monday, November 25th, 19 days after the passing of his wife, Betty. Lloyd was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa to Vera Marie Williams and Cecil Everett Cooney. He graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School. Lloyd served as a Tec 5 specialist with the 517 Airborne Signal Co. of the 17th and 82nd Airborne Divisions in World War II. He received three major battle stars including the Battle of the Bulge. He earned his B.S. degree in Political Science and did post-graduate work in Banking and Finance at the University of Utah. He married Betty Louise Packard of Magna, Utah on March 4, 1946. Mr. Cooney had a distinguished history in broadcasting, editorializing and public service. He was VP/General Manager of KSL-TV in Salt Lake City, before coming to Seattle as President/General Manager of KIRO, Inc. (KIRO-TV, KIRO Newsradio, and KSEA-FM) from 1963 to 1982. He served on the CBS Television Affiliates and CBS Radio Affiliates Advisory Boards, as Chair of the CBS Affiliates Promotion Committee, and on the board of the Washington State Association of Broadcasters. Cooney left KIRO to run for the U.S. Senate seat of Warren Magnuson in 1982 and the seat of Henry Jackson in 1983. His positions on issues were plain, principled and conservative. Following the campaigns, he entered into consultancies with the Seattle Supersonics, the Seattle Mariners, Group W Cable, Ackerley Communications, Weatherly Private Capital, Bonneville International, Medina Broadcast Group, and Prime Sports NW.Lloyd served in many community leadership roles, including Chairman of Seattle-King County Convention & Visitors Bureau, Public Relations Committee of United Way of King County, the Seattle Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and as Mayor of the town of Yarrow Point. He also served on the boards of the Salvation Army, Downtown Seattle Development Association, American Heart Association, Broadmoor Golf & Country Club, Washington Athletic Club, and Rainier Club. Lloyd's efforts contributed to raising both awareness and many donations through the Variety Club telethons. He enjoyed serving Thanksgiving meals at the Union Gospel Mission and ringing the bell for the Salvation Army at Christmas. He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the age of fifty, and served in various callings including Bishop of the Bellevue First Ward and Young Single Adults Ward. Lloyd is remembered as one who loved life.
