Kenneth Mincey, who founded Gainesville-based Mincey Marble cast marble company, passed away at the age of 86 Friday.
“Kenneth Mincey was an innovator and the inspiration behind every success that we had,” said Doug Westmoreland, the company’s chief operating officer, in a press release on Mincey's passing. “His vision and leadership will be greatly missed here locally and throughout our industry.”
Mincey, along with his late wife JoAnn and sons Roger and Kevin, opened their cast marble business in 1977. Mincey Marble is now a national leader in manufacturing cast marble bathroom products for the commercial industry, with Mincey's daughter, Donna Mincey, as President and CEO.
