  John E. Mingo 
  
  FREDERICKSBURG Our beloved John Everett Mingo passed away on Monday, January 
  31, 2011. He was 62 years old. John was born in Portland, Maine, the son of 
  Lillian and Leander Mingo. After completion of high school, he spent four years 
  in the Marine Corps and was discharged in 1972 with several medals and 
  commendations. Following his service in the Marines, he went to work for Coca 
  Cola in New Hampshire. In 1996 he was forced into early retirement due to 
  several heart attacks. On April 22, 2007, John received a heart transplant at 
  the Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Following his heart transplant he became 
  a patient advocate at the Medical Center and served on several committees to 
  help produce facility designs that were more patient friendly. When he was 
  able, he was also an active volunteer for the Red Cross of the greater 
  Harrisburg area. A life-long animal lover, John will be best remembered for his 
  development of the website, In-Memory-Of-Pets.com. This is a website devoted to 
  helping other pet lovers deal with the grief of losing a beloved pet. What 
  started out as a website memorial to his Cocker Spaniel, Candy, has grown to 
  include over a million pets of other people, including, royalty, professionals, 
  movie producers, and at least one past President of the United States and the 
  First Lady. John was an outgoing individual who never hesitated to help others. 
  He was a published poet who was loved and admired by all who met him. He is 
  survived by his fiancée, Arlene Jones of Fredericksburg, sister, Kathy Comstock 
  of New Hampshire, Carole Miller of Hershey, and a son, John, Jr. He also leaves 
  behind three grandchildren. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday 
  evening, February 9, 2011, at 7 p.m. in the Hoover Funeral Home & Crematory, 
  Inc., Hershey. Visitation will be from 6 p.m. until time of service. Final 
  resting place will be in Detroit Cemetery, Detroit, Maine. The family would 
  like to thank all of the team of nurses and doctors who provided so much 
  support and care during John's stay at the Penn State Hershey Medical Center.
