Jack Mincher Obituary
November 22, 1922 - February 24, 2015
Covington, LA
Jack Richard Mincher, Lt. Colonel Retired, passed away on the morning of February 24, 2015 in Covington, Louisiana. Born November 22, 1922, Jack is a native of Long Beach, Mississippi. He was the beloved husband of Kathryn Burleson Mincher, loving father of Laura Mincher Hamlin, Lawrence Gordon Mincher and Thomas Richard Mincher, and son of the late Lillie Taylor Mincher and George Albert Mincher.
Jack is a World War II veteran and a hero to both country and family. He served in both France and Germany, crossing the English Channel with Patton's Third Army. While World War II defined Jack's life, he defined the lives of three children and five grandchildren as a remarkable, loving family man.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend the graveside service in Biloxi National Cemetery a Keesler Airforce Base on Friday, February 27, 2015 at 10:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donation in memory of Mr. Mincher to be made to the National World War II Museum in New Orleans.

Minch,
Truly sorry at the passing of your dad and my Uncle Jack. I'm greatful for the watchful eye he had on us (and you know who we are!) Rest assured he's mixing it up with our Lord now with all of all parents. We were blessed! Keep looking upwrds.

Mr Mincher was a true gentleman in my experience with him. I came to know "Mr Jack" through his son Larry. I came to respect and appreciate his qualities because he raised a son of faith who has great love and respect for other people. The Mincher family has made a full and positive impact upon the Covington community. Accordingly, we locals are in Mr Jack's debt. Moreover, our entire nation is in the debt of veterans like Jack Mincher.
Sincerely, Jim and Theresa Currie, FBC-Covington
