He lived in the Hampton, West Deer townships until he moved to Pymatuning Lake over 25 years ago. He loved to hunt and fish and spend time with his many family and friends when they would come to visit him. He had a heart of gold to those that he loved. He is survived by his daughter Stephanie (Trent) Demek and grandson Austin Demek of Gibsonia, his two sisters Pam Mimm of Allison Park and Marylee (Wayne) Swick of Fombell and granddaughter Adalyn Mimm of Valencia. He is predeceased by his parents Joe and Irene Mimm and his son Shawn Mimm. As per his request no viewing was held and there will be a celebration of his life next summer.
