Rev. O.B. Mullins, 84, banker and preacher
Rev. O. B. Mullins of Erlanger didn't fit the stereotypical image of stern banker, or of fiery preacher.
"O.B. was a businessman with a sense of humor, " said Jessie Marie Mullins, his wife of 18 years.
"And even though he was a Pentecostal minister, he wasn't what you'd call a fire-and-brimstone preacher. He was serious, but he was also a comedian. Everyone who met him loved him."
