I have known the Mitchell family since they moved to Merrimack, meeting Karen when we were both in 5th grade. Brian Mitchell was like a surrogate father and left a lasting impression.
My deepest sympathy to the family, he will forever be missed.

I met Brian (W1HOF/W1OF) via amateur radio in 1977. Later when our family moved to Hutchinson Road we became neighbors. I enjoyed my friendship with Brian and we would spend hours talking Amateur Radio. I last spoke to Brian in 1992 when we moved to North Carolina. I will miss Brian, but cherish great memories forever. God bless Brian, Nancy and Family.
