Community leaders are remembering former Laguna Niguel Mayor Robert Ming, 51, who died Feb. 13 in a single-engine plane crash in Kansas, as a man of impeccable ethics with a strong moral compass and a pillar of wisdom that helped change the city he loved.
“When future generations look back at our rich history, Robert will be remembered as one of the most consequential figures to have ever shaped the city,” Laguna Niguel Mayor Elaine Gennawey said on Feb. 15 during a council meeting. “He was not only a public servant but an exemplary leader, a remarkable philanthropist, and a kind and humble soul.”
