C.C. Roos was the son of Rutherford B. and Angela Regan Roos. Growing up in Victoria, he worked at his father's store, Roos Mercantile Company. He attended St. Joseph's High School and Victoria Junior College. In 1936, he received a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Texas, Austin.
On June 20, 1942, C.C. married Mary Julia Chesnutt of Kenedy, Texas, at St. Anthony Catholic Church, Runge, Texas. They had two children, Josephine and John. During World War II, C.C. served in the U.S. Army reaching the rank of Master Sargent. After the war, C.C. and Mary Julia settled in Kenedy where he owned and operated the C.C. Roos Food Store. C.C. was a founding member of the Kenedy Veterans of Foreign Wars post and served a term as Commander. C.C. enjoyed his family and friends, college football, traveling, and going to the theater.
"HERE'S TO YOU, C.C."
"As we put this special money-saving issue to press, I can't help but think of my wonderful, funny, beloved uncle, C.C. Roos. Uncle C.C. can find more ways to pinch a penny than to spend one. If it's not on sale, he doesn't buy it. If it is, he buys in quantity. He's such a compulsive coupon clipper, my mother hides her magazines when he comes to visit so he can't clip them to shreds.
It took us years to convince him to accept a color television from us. And when his son, John, treated him to a cable hookup, you'd have thought John was putting his entire financial future in jeopardy.
Still, miserly as he is, C.C. never stints on what really matters to him--his children, travel and going to the theater. And when my siblings and I were in our teens and early twenties, he was always there with a twenty or more (big money in those days) for trips or other special occasions.
Uncle C.C., you'll be proud of us!!"
