We have worked with Dr. Minney in many workshops at the Jefferson County Schools. He was a great educator and mentor. Larry and I are retired teachers with Edison Local Schools. He and his wife, Lura are also neighbors on Stuart Drive in Wintersville, Ohio. We are also members of Wintersville United Methodist Church. He will be missed, and we are sorry for your loss. We will be praying for your family.

All my sympathy in losing your Dad. Even at age 88 he had a great sense of humor and a young attitude. I miss him already. While on vacation this week I'll see something and think that's something to tell Ron about when I get home then suddenly remember he's gone. I was never treated like an employee but a true friend. He was always thoughtful and kind to me. He will be missed.
