Francis Mina, a beloved team leader custodian at York, died suddenly in the TEL Building last week.
Mina, who passed away from natural causes on March 4, leaves behind his wife Jenny Evangelista Mina, his daughter Franchelle Ann Mina, and his parents, Leonarda and Manuel Mina.
In a YFile article, Joseph Sanguedolce, manager of custodial services, said Mina was a well-spirited person who was constantly smiling and would always help out his fellow staff members.
“Francis always had the students and community as his priority, ensuring a clean environment,” said Sanguedolce.
“He shared his terrific sense of humor with his colleagues, constantly reminding us that we all need to smile and laugh more.”
Mina’s greatest joy in life, said Sanguedolce, was to see his daughter each morning at breakfast before driving her to school.
