My sincere expression of sympathy.We grew up in Lincoln and graduated together at Butler.So many good memories.May God be with you in this difficult time. Eloise Stone

My condolences goes to the family and friends of Donald Mincher. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Remember that there will be a time when sickness and death will be no more.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I appreciated Don's advice and friendship during my tenure with the Huntsville Stars '86-‘89. Fond memories of Don's baseball stories and pitching BP to a former major leaguer are still vivid 25 years later. My condolences to Pat and the Mincher family.

Pat, We send our condolences to you and your family. My brothers and I grew up with Don as you know and have fond memories of him and our days at Lincoln and Butler. May GOD bless you.

Donnie and I grew up in the Lincoln neighborhood and graduated from Butler High School the same year. He was a credit to his hometown and admired by all who knew him.

Mr. Mincher was such a slugger. Twins manager Sam Mele once said; "when I'm in a pinch, I call for Minch". Your baseball heroics won't be forgotten. When you get to baseball heaven give our regards to Harmon Killebrew, Danny Thompson and all the others that wore a Minnesota uniform. RIP

Don played 1st base in 1958 in Charleston SC. He still holds the Charleston Club home run record w/ 16. He was the most popular player on the club, and we all knew he would play in the big leagues.

He made a boy's dream come true when i got to spend a week with him in Minnesota in 1963. He was a true gentleman, and will always remain my hero. My thoughts and prayers with Pat and the family.
