For 35 years, Jacob Mingo was Woolworths' 'most dedicated trolley collector' from Carnarvon 8-)

Good work... he deserves the kudos and a memorial - nothing wrong with that - and not least for living with a disability and working and being a good bloke to everyone.

It can be done... I hope his example reaches out to some of the ne'er-do-wells and gives them an idea on how to get forward in life.

What did he die of?  Such a shame.

Such a great story

Smiling and positive
No hint of victim identity
Giving off an awesome vibe
Industrious
Enjoys his work for the joy of the work without needing a "result"
And sounds like he attracted a lot of positives vibes from those who knew him
Giving before you receive
Not being transactional
Asking " what can I do to make things a little better"
His cup runneth over.

I would support a statue 🗽

Doesn't sound like the sort of bloke who would go to a union rally or an activist march
A man who took " total personal responsibility " for the trajectory of his life and refused to take the governments evil sit down money

Respect

Now that was a decent story.
