Anthony Jules Ny died peacefully on August 8, 2024 at the age of 89.
Tony is survived by his fiancée Shirley Robinson, children Anna Sneath, Charles Slater, and Maria Ny; grandchildren Kayla Hillers, Katie Graham, and Anthony Ny-Graham; and great grandchildren Braylon Albertson, Eliyah Spence, and Victor Hillers.
He is preceded in death by his wife Louisa Ny, mother Cecilia Schmedding, father Frank Ny, sister Lynne Gimlin, and stepfather Herman Schmedding.
Tony was born on July 24, 1935 in Daly City, California to Frank and Cecilia Ny. He married his wife Louisa who he met in San Diego. Together they raised their blended family and worked together to build a successful fence company. In 2005, they moved to Kansas to be closer to their grandchildren and enjoy their retirement.
In 2015, after his wife's passing, Tony went into the bar business with his daughter Anna andson-in-law Steve and purchased the Midway Bar and Grill. He was an active member of the community and in 2016 when he met Shirley, the two quickly became inseparable.
As Tony's health began to decline Shirley stood by his side and helped as often as she was able.Tony was passionate about playing pool and enjoyed competing in tournaments. So much so that he sold his living room couch to make room for a full sized pool table.
He also loved his Harleys and rode them for as long as his body would allow him to. Tony was a brilliant man, and a conversation with him was always enlightening and educational. Although he had to quit school in the eighth grade to help support his family, he was an avid learner and knew a little bit about nearly everything.
The family will have visitation on Friday August 23, 2024 at Danner Funeral Home in Abilene, KS from 12pm-2pm followed by a service at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Heart Association may be made in Tony's name.
The family would like to thank the staff at Smoky Hill Health and Rehabilitation, Interim Home Health, and all of his caregivers that made his days a little easier and brighter, especially his fiancée Shirley Robinson and granddaughter Katie Graham.
