David A. Mitchell

We who knew David in our small sangha for too short a time continue to feel the impact of the spirit he brought to us- a short time, but deep, and lasting memories

David continues to be remembered lovingly by members ifcthe small sangha he participated in wholeheartedly the last year of his life and as he mourned the loss if his beloved wife, Hoopie.

David's and Hoopie's lives spoke volumes about their deep committments to each other and to the various causes they shared. He was a beloved member of our meditation group after Hoopie died.We continue to miss his physical presence.

Farewell my freind. I will remember our tech talks back at Xerox, when computers were growing from room size to appliance size while integrating desktop computers. You had the patience when I asked questions and the ability to explain the dynamics and answer my questions. I really appreciated your counsel. We spoke shortly after Harriet had passed and now you've joined her. I wish you both peace and glad to have shared Geva Theater and dinners in Rochester. You are in our hearts and thoughts...

David a long time neighbor and friend always active in the community and had a great part in our Springfield reunions we will miss him as he rest in peace. Henrietta Greene

David was a quiet, non-intrusive presence as he moved around with his camera at Ganondagan, with an amazing "eye" for wonderful photos. He was completely dedicated to this service. Then, in addition, he dedicated himself to fulfilling his beloved wife Hoopee's volunteer commitments when she died suddenly. And then his mother died. David embraced the invitation to join our Buddhist meditation group while still deeply grieving these lost loved ones and, although his time with us was too...

I practiced meditation with David within our group. His sweet calm demeanor and deep soulful introspection were always appreciated. Wish I had been able to know him longer. Peaceful Journey...good bye my Doban.
