Tony was more than a cousin to me. Throughout my youth, he was one of my best friends. We did almost everything together. We played pool, and golfed, went fishing and played every board game under the sun. We went to AkSarBen with our dads and hung out in the Junior Jockey Club, where we yelled picks across the paddock so our dad´s could place bets for us, and we heckled the jocks we didn´t like when they rode in.
We made up stories and silly songs and cheered on Notre Dame. For five years, we served noon Mass together at SS Peter & Paul. The family thought we were hilarious because I was tallest of all the cousins and Tony was pretty much the shortest.
My youth would have been far poorer without Tony in my life. I regret we lost touch after college when I moved to Kansas City. I believe the last time I saw him was at my wedding.
Cece, please accept my very deepest sympathies in your loss. I know Tony is finally now feeling the comfort he so much deserved.

My cousin Ed Mickells and I used to hang around with Tony growing up in South Omaha. Tony was a huge Notre Dame football fan and always looked forward to the Notre Dame vs USC Trojans game each year. My father Edward F. Mickells was a huge Notre Dame fan as well.
Rest in Peace cousin and enjoy your new life with our Heavenly Father.
