| Description | CLEVELAND (AP) -- Robert E. Sweeney, a one-term congressman and lawyer who specialized in asbestos claims, has died. He was 82.
Sweeney died Saturday at his home in Gates Mills after battling numerous illnesses that began with a heart attack in 1999, said his wife, Kathryn Sweeney.
Sweeney was a Democratic nominee for Ohio attorney general in 1962 and 1966, losing both times to Republican William Saxbe, who went on to become U.S. attorney general under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, said his son, Robert P. Sweeney. |
