On Monday, June 3, 2019, age 94, of Churchill and Naples, FL. Loving father of the late James Vincent Baney III, Carolyn MacDonald (George), Mary Lou Saunders, Nancy Richardson (Dennis), Thomas Baney (Angel), and Edward Baney. Proud grandfather of Michael VanDerWeele, Julie Futules, Diana and George MacDonald, and Gianna Baney. Great-grandfather of Lily, Hailey, Claire, and Luke. Brother of William Baney and Joan Cattie.
