Louie Mimms

I realize that I am nearly a decade late in offering my sincerest condolences to the family of Mr. Mimms. Ive read the obviously heartfelt comments from family and other previous students of Mr. Mimms, so I know that he meant so much to more than just me.

I graduated from Lake Placid (FL) High School in 1980, and Mr. Mimms was my English teacher...the most memorable English teacher I ever had (maybe the most memorable of ANY teacher I ever had). Though he was my teacher for only...

Louie Mimms was a Great man and my Granddad. I miss him putting his arms around me and asking "How's my girl?" when we would come to visit.
When we were little girls(Diane and I)would spend most of the summer with my Grandparents. Granddad would take us fishing on the lake.Since we fished with worms he had a heck of a time trying to keep bait on our hooks,finally he told us if we wanted to fish we would have to bait our own hooks.He showed us how and we did learn to do it ourselves. He...

Excellent and memorable teachers are few and far between, and Mr. Mimms was one of them. I consider it a privilege to have been one of his students in the early 70's. I just learned of his passing, and wanted to pay my respects.

My sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Mimms. I had the wonderful blessing of having him as my English teacher at Lake Placid (FL) High School my junior and senior years (1983 and 1984). He was truly one of a kind and only wanted the best for his students. Mr. Mimms held all of us to the highest standards and expected the best from us. If we were willing to work hard, he would do all he could to help us succeed.
Having graduated from college, law school and seminary, I have had...

Louie Mimms was my Great-Grandfather. He loved his family and enjoyed telling us stories from when he was a P-38 Lightning pilot and when he was an english teacher. He never stopped being an english teacher. His children and grandchildren had to "Look it up" and he was always so quick to correct our grammar. He made the best waffles ever and had a wonderful sense of humor which I like to think I got from him. I love him so much. There will never be another man like my Grandad.

My deepest condolences to your family for your loss. Mr. Mimms was my English teacher at Lake Placid High School. I graduated in 1984 and had him as a senior.
I was always a good student in school and never had to apply myself to get good grades. I remember Mr. Mimms as my favorite teacher because he recognized I was not meeting my full potential and pushed me harder. He was my only teacher to do so at LPHS. I went on to college and then on to the professional workplace and now work as...

My sister and I both had Mr. Mimms for our high school English teacher. He was a great teacher and will never be forgotten! My prayers go out to the Mimms family.

My condolences to Mr. Mimms' family. Mr. Mimms was my English teacher at Lake Placid High School from 1983 to 1985. His dedication to educating his students and preparing them for life after high school has had a lasting impression on me. Looking back, it was an honor to have learned from him.
