Fredrick C. Mintie

Hello Ann,

I'm just learning of Fred's passing. I'll always remember him from my early years at St. Edward's, then later when you married. He was a bright spot in my days at the parish. Your steadfast presence at the weekday masses reminded me I was with family. I'm keeping you and all your family in prayer.

Judy and Lee Choitz

Miss Ann, hugs and blessings to you on the passing of your beloved "Fred". We didn't have the joy of knowing Fred a long time, but we enjoyed every moment he was with us at the "Circle". Judy and I knew how much he loved you because he would light up every time he saw you coming to pick him up. He would race to get his hat and jacket on and raise both his hands up to his waist as if to say, "There is my beautiful wife". Fred was a fantastic pool player even though he faced obstacles and this...

I went to Rosary High in Fullerton with some of Mr. Mintie's daughters. They were kids one could be proud of. Nancy was a bit older than me, but I have followed her career here in L.A. over the years, as the Mintie name is impossible to forget. Fred left the world a better place, which is the pinnacle of fatherhood and manhood. Blessings on all his Minties.

Fred was a one-man stimulus package, a terrific instructor for folks seeking a real-estate license in the 70s, even as the oil crisis put a temporary brake on the real estate market. He started many a novice on a rewarding career.
