He was a great guy! I was lucky to know him and considered him a friend.

During these crazy times when we are quarantined due to the virus, I'd simply say that if there were anyone who would have made this process less stressful and found a way to cheer up people - Billy Mitchell would have done it. His memory reminds me of the movie "Life is Beautiful" when the Dad somehow kept his son happy while they were in a concentration camp in WWII. Billy's glow is still around.

It does not seem possible that a year has elapsed since Bill's passing and his friendly, outgoing attitude which was always on display makes the passage of time seem more difficult. At a time when negativity seems to dominate the news and too many relationships, people like Bill would have made things more tolerable and put differences in perspective. He is still missed by alot of his colleagues and always will be.

To the Mitchell Family --
I am so sorry to learn of Bill's passing. I had the honor of working with him on various issues during his tenure at the MBTA. He was a true professional, gentleman and role model. Thank you for sharing him with so many. My life is richer for the experience.

Dear Mrs. Mitchell and Family,
I was fortunate enough to work with Billy at the AG's office during the Shannon days, and have such nice memories of him. He was extremely kind, helpful, even-tempered, and witty. I am very sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed, but I hope you will take comfort in the knowledge that he will be remembered so fondly by so many.

Dear beloved Mitchell Family:
Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of Your beloved Bill. He was and will forever remain in my memory as a cherished friend, mentor,towering fellow public servant, in whom God himself placed a heart as large as his. He was a tree, a friendly voice, with firm and inalterable convictions to constantly do the right thing at all times. We were AAGs in Bellotti,s office which in and of itself bonded me to him for the rest of my life. His dedication to serving others was immense and his example was a model for all of us to aspire to acheive and emulate. These few words will not assuage your grief. But please know that I will pray for your comfort, sincerely; and thank God constantly for gracing me with the boast that I got meet, and know an Angel.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr Mitchell.
He was always one of my favorite teachers and a wonderful Houghs Necker too.
I remember many great memories at the house on Darrow St or at Kevin's store years ago.

For sunlight after showers—

For golden happy hours—
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!~

I had the privilege of serving with Bill on the MBTA Retirement Board. and a privilege it truly was. Bill immediately became one of my favorite people. I quickly learned I was not alone in my high esteem for Bill. What a great guy. Bill brought so much to that board. He was always about bringing people together.Bill had that way of making you feel that only the two of you new something that no one else new. What was not known he had the ability to do that with everyone in the room. Although the board was comprised of both union and management representatives with Bill it was always about doing what was best for the pensioners.I always said at the union if Bill Mitchell tells you something you can take it to the bank. My condolences to the Mitchell family.Frank Madden Local 589 Boston Carmen's Union Executive Board Retired.

I would like to express my condolonces to the Mitchell family. I was one of ther many students Bill taught at broadmeadows Jr high school in 1971. Mr Mitchell as he was known to the students was a cool hip teacher who always had a smile, and if he was mad at you it would no be for long. He was a great teacher and a real nice person.

Corrine and Family,
One afternoon back in the '70's, Bill was taking the "Big Boss's" car somewhere for him, and he asked me to go along. We decided that the Boss would never miss a few of his caramel "squirrel" candies. We were wrong! When the Boss expressed his "disappointment", Bill took all of the heat and never gave me up! From Darrow Street to Beacon Hill, and beyond, Bill was ALWAYS Bill. I think, perhaps, that's why so many, many people loved and respected Bill. I certainly did. Still do. On behalf of Stephanie and our entire family, please accept our deepest sympathies.

My cousin Bill was one of the brightest and best and will be sorely missed. He loved his wife and children and delighted in their accomplishments. When he lost his two brothers, he took on the father role to their children and eventually to another generation of children as their "Papa Billy." I know Nana Mitchell was there with open arms to welcome home "My Billy." RIP, Bill. Sorrow doesn't last but love does.

Corinne and Family,
I was very sad to hear of the passing of Bill. I had the pleasure of getting to know him better as we both served on the board of governors at Furnace Brook GC and played several rounds of golf together. He was a steady influence for us all at FBGC with his wisdom and his calming nature. He was a true Red Raider and will be missed by all who knew him. I will not be able to attend the services as I am in Florida, all the best to all during this difficult time.

Dear Corinne, Courtney, and Michael, Your husband and dad was one of the finest people I've ever known. Funny, smart, kind, and loyal, he was always someone you could depend on. He was the rarest type of friend, and I'll miss him more than I can say.--Paul and Kathleen McShane

I'm shocked and saddened by Bill's passing. In Frank Bellotti's office, he was a friend, colleague and always was a pleasure to deal with. It is difficult to accept his passing and hopefully his family will be comforted by the memories of a terrific guy.

May memories of your beloved husband and Dad sustain you from this day forward. He was the best there ever was, as a husband, a father, a friend and more. Thank you God for the gift of Bill Mitchell. I can't even imagine what he and PAG are talking about now, but it is a very long conversation I am certain.
