Isaac Mickens Jr.

Isaac Mickens, Jr. was born on August 15, 1936 in Bishopville, South Carolina, to the late Isaac Mickens, Sr. and Gladys Bradley Mickens. Isaac was the eldest of all his siblings. He was united in holy matrimony on October 28, 1956 to Willie Mae Mickens and in this union was blessed with three children. He attended Dennis High School in Bishopville, South Carolina. On March 18, 1955, he moved to New Jersey. He was employed with Fisher Scientific in Somerville, New Jersey and retired from AristaCare in Plainfield in 2003. "Cuda" as he was called by his family, but known as "Baby" by friends, he enjoyed fishing, playing cards, going to the racetrack and taking trips to South Carolina to visit his family and friends. He also enjoyed hanging out with his "boys" (close male friends) who formed a club back in the day called "The Log." He had a magnetic personality. There's not a person who ever knew him that didn't grow to respect, love and appreciate who he was as an individual and as a family man.
