While I haven't met you, I would like to express my deepest condolences - as I was one of Mitch's customers. I am shocked, as I just tried to call Mitch, heard that the number was disconnected, went online to look for a new phone number, and found this obituary instead. I am so sorry, as I know this is a tragic loss for your family. Mitch was a wonderful electrician - knowledgeable, efficient, professional, polite, personable - just an all around pleasure to have working in our home. And when he shared family stories, he always spoke so lovingly about you.
