Mr. Thurman "Sonny" A. Mobley, 69, of Niles, Ohio passed away at 12:49 PM on Thursday January 26, 2012 at his home with his family by his side following a courageous battle with lung cancer. Mr. Mobley was born on January 22, 1943 in Wheeling, West Virginia the son of the late Samuel Albert and Mary Elizabeth (Livingston) Mobley. Affectionately known as "Sonny" by his family and friends, he graduated from Wheeling High School and would go on to proudly serve our country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam Era. Following his honorable discharge, Sonny would go on to work for General Electric Niles Glass on Federal Street for over thirty five years retiring as a group leader. He was a member of the Army and Navy Union Garrison #244 where he had served as Past Post Commander. During his free time he enjoyed golfing, shooting pool, building models, was a War history buff, and was an avid gardener. Most of all Sonny enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. Surviving is his wife of 46 years the former Joan Minkemeyer, whom he married on May 12, 1965 and together they shared the love of four children, Timothy "Tim" (Dolores) Mobley of Boardman, Todd (Patricia) Mobley of Niles, Catherine (Jon) Clutter of Tucson, AZ and Trevor (Tauna) Mobley of Niles; eleven grandchildren and one great grandchild.
