Dear Mingus Family,
Your husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather was one of the nicest men I have ever met. He was kind, funny and caring. He really loved his family and his wife. He was truly a man of great character. I know he was greeted by hundreds of Angels when he arrived in heaven and held in the arms of Jesus. Much love, Kristine Ochu
