Robert S. Spinharney

Robert “Bob” Spinharney, age 71, of Eden Prairie passed away at home on May 14 surrounded by his family. Man of prayer, lover of God and his Catholic faith, Bob was a devoted husband and father, and a proud “Papa” who delighted in his grandkids. He had a heart for mentoring everyone from altar boys at his church to his colleagues at IBM. An army veteran, Bob loved his country and was grateful to those who serve in the military. He was a handball champion, sometimes a better heckler than player on the golf course, and a Broadway musical and John Wayne film enthusiast. You could always rely on Bob for sound advice and a good dose of humor. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Sharon, and their children Fr. Isaac Mary Spinharney, CFR, Sr. John Paul Marie Spinharney, CFR, Kara Miller, Jessica (Kelly) Franklin, and Jordan (Anne) Spinharney; grandchildren Taylor, Madison, Emma, Avila, Isaac, and Beckett Miller and Gianna Franklin; brothers Mike (Sharon) and Rick (Roxanne), sisters Kathie (Mike) Gordon, Sue Cornwell, Carolyn (Craig) Kozel, Theresa (Mike) Johnson, Denise Spinharney, and Jinny (Scott) Lyons; many nieces nephews and friends. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
