Who We Are
We are men, women and children in your community dedicated to helping families who have lost a man, either suddenly or through a prolonged illness. We are neighbors and friends, organized as a non-profit, so that we’re ready to help when needed.
Besides the swarm of people volunteering we have a Board of Directors and Advisory Council that is made up of 8 men and women. These men and women oversee the ministry, volunteers and finances to ensure we are reaching the people in need.

Craig Rochin
Craig is one-half of the dynamic Rochin duo. (He is married to Lori). Craig has previously been on the Board of Directors of Missing Man Ministry and is currently on the advisory board. Craig and Lori are members of the financial assessment team, because a clear understanding of the M3 client’s finances is of utmost importance. And usually because of the devastating situation that the newly widowed client has been faced with, their mind is not really clear. That’s where Craig and Lori step in and help make sense of their current financial situation. Always.
In one of Craig’s previous lives, he was a mechanic with American Airlines. So you’ll find him always tinkering with something around the house. Now Craig is able to enjoy two wonderful grandkids, both in Texas. So they are piling up the Southwest Airlines miles, getting to spoil………..I mean see……….the grandkids. |
Jiwon Ha
|
Jiwon was able to retire recently, after working 40 years at Bank of America. He was deeply involved in their IT and finance teams, which lent itself very well to Missing Man Ministry. Jiwon has graciously offered to be our Treasurer (Board of Directors) and does a fantastic job of keeping our finances in order.
Jiwon lives with his family in Dublin, CA and is quite a traveler of late. |
