Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. He was always caring and encouraging.

It's so sad that we lost 1 of the greatest men in this world . A man that has touched so many lives including mine . He is gone way to soon . RIP coach Mingo. Its not goodbye its i see you later .

Deep sympathy for late news crossed me of passing and after services over of Mr Robert Earl. It was almost like family growing up and became ex co-worker in Harrison County Schools. He was a strict minded educator and humorous to acquaintances and students he knew. Hate I wasnt told " age n time can knock on your door without warning ( got my shocks also and communication not like used to be over 50 or 60 yrs ago )" Caught the train...

Sorry to hear about Coach. We taught together at HC9 and he was a wonderful person.

One of my favorite cousins, Robert Earl “PigMeat” Mingo.

I can hear his voice He would tell me " you got zero up hear boy ZERO!" and put a zero on his forehead when he would catch me doing something stupid but he never turned me in. He would take the time to, in vivid detail mind you explain how and why I had "zero up here". He was a great man. The world is a little dimmer without him in it. Rest well Coach.

He was the best coach to all the kids that came across his path and especially mine! I can still hear him saying “ Norman don’t miss that train” I didn’t really understand it as a young girl, but as an adult I do! I’m forever grateful that we crossed paths and I was fortunate to have his as my coach for two years.

Many prayers to your family. I was determined to never miss the train after meeting you. You left a lasting impression. RIP Coach Mingo

Coach Mingo Alot Of Us Were Blessed To Have A Coach Like You! R.i.p. You Made That Train To Heaven ❤
