I had the pleasure of being one of Mooney's step daughters for 25 years. Mooney had 4 step children when he married my mother Eddie Mae Vickers "Mooney": Our names were Howard Vickers (Mary Ella) - Trudy Vickers Klemm (Ken) - Vanessa Vickers Tharp (Charlie) and me: Kathryn Vickers. He had 4 step grandchildren: Amy Vickers Zdrowak - Heather Vickers Ritchie - Robert Klemm - Hunter Tharp. We will all miss Mooney in our own way. Hope to be able to attend a ceremony sooner than later I know he would have wanted that. Mooney you will be missed and all the friends I had that had the opportunity to have met you will miss you as well.
