In Memoriam: Ernest H. Mintie
The Mintie Corporation's 71 year old history is a story of dedication, commitment and discipline whose first chapters came from Ernest H. Mintie. As time passed, his sons James L. Mintie and Robert W. Mintie became his co-authors and then successors. Now, Ernest's grandsons Kevin J. Mintie and James M. Mintie continue to carry the torch in line with the principles that he laid down.
Ernest was committed to the practical values that formed the foundation of the company:
Treat people how you want to be treated; if you do, the benefits will come around.
Don't short change the customer: Provide great service at a fair price.
Our grandfather was a very people friendly person. He loved people and he always believed in them. - Kevin J. Mintie
Ernest did love sports too, especially tennis. He was always able to find time to play. Both his work ethic and love of sports were passed on to his sons and later to Kevin and Jim...
