"A Little League coach for 13 years, he was also involved with 4-H and the Masons. He loved a good meal of cornbread, beans and fried greens, and truly enjoyed being a twin with his brother, Elmer Lee, as they had attended the Twinsburg twins’ festival for 22 years.

Morris, Pa., and Linda (Jack) Richardson of Greenville, Texas; sisters-in-law, Janet and Linda Mullins; and many nieces and nephews.
"He was preceded in death by two brothers, E.J. Mullins and Charles “Jack” Mullins; and his parents.
"Calling Hours will be from 4 to 6 p.m. on Friday, March 20th, at the ZABACK-WILLIAMS-DUCRO FUNERAL HOME, 500 W. Prospect Road, Ashtabula, Ohio.
