Obituary for Ulysses Mann Jr.
Mr. Ulysses Mann, Jr. was born in Jacksonville, Florida on August 10th, 1951 to Ulysses Mann Sr. and Beatrice Cobb. He relocated to Greenville, Florida where he attended local schools then he went into the Job Corp. He accepted Christ at an early age at Reeper Baptist Church in Greenville, Florida and later joined St. Andrew Missionary Baptist Church in Jacksonville, FL.
He returned back to Jacksonville, Florida and started in construction work as a cement finisher which you could see his work all over the city with our sidewalks and some city streets and many homes were some of his greatest accomplishments. He was very proud of his work.
Mr. Mann also loved to fish and, most importantly, he loved planting his garden; he would have the best looking garden ever and everyone would walk by just to admire his handy work and ask if they could have some greens and he would gladly give them away. He was best known as Leo or Wolf by friends and Papa by all the kids and grandkids.
