A first class cousin! Mitch was one of the happiest people I've ever encountered. He was a positve energy, funny, creative, thoughtful and charming.
He will be soooooo missed. Yet, his legacy will live on through his children and grandchildren. He was a good man and a loved man. He loved music and is now singing with the angels.........May his family be blessed with comfort.

I met Mitch when we were kids growing up in San Carlos, and he became a good friend after high school. Although i haven't seen him in years, i've thought of him with fondness. My sympathy goes out to the family. He was a great guy!

At this time of loss, May you know...His compassion, His grace, His love. May the love of God surround you during this time of sorrow. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

One thing that comes to mind about my brother Mitch is his sense of humor. Mitch loved a good joke, particularly if he was the one telling it. I guess it would be more appropriate to say that Mitch loved the jokes he told. It never mattered to Mitch if the joke was any good, or if he didn’t tell it well, he always found his jokes he told so very funny. His audience...well, maybe not so much. But, that was the thing about Mitch, he enjoyed the joke. Mitch, if you are reading this, holdback on the jokes until after you get past St. Peter.
You will be missed.

Even though I never got the chance to meet Mitch himself, the sense that he had immeasurable strength and character was evident through the various postings and writings on Karen's facebook page the past few years. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and may you all find comfort and peace in all the happy memories he has left you with.

I was blessed to have been given the chance to spend some of Mitch's last days with him and his family. The love that I felt during those times was so pure, that It just pored out of everyone to be shared with the rest of us. Even though Mitch was in the hospital, he was keeping us entertained by telling us jokes and singing old (from the 60"s), commercial jingles. Rest in peace, my beloved brother. I miss you, Sharon
