Not sure what to say?

It was a joy knowing Mr. Mitchell. His gave himself selflessly to scouting and for that I will be forever grateful. He showed my son that no matter what you have going on in your life that it is always your responsibility to give back.
Thank you, Mary Curran-Lima

Dear Betty, Bob and family:

Mitch and Betty mentored our three sons in Scouting. They were dedicated to that project with great affection and devotion. He will be remembered fondly, and we will keep the rest of you in our hearts during this sad time.

Our Deepest Sympathy in this time of sadness to Bob & family. My Prayers go out to you.
I believe Mitch to be at Peace in a better place now.
My son has been fortunate to be involved in Troop 776. My father Babe worked with Mitch for 35 years at Zero Mfg., along with being a Scout leader with Mitch for at least 10 yrs. as well.

Scoutmaster Troop 776

Mitch taught me how to lead, care for, guide and nurture our youth through the scouting program. He showed me that there is more to life than meets the eye.
He was my mentor, my friend, a father figure to me. A source of inspiration and a pillar of faith which I could draw strength from. I will miss him. He will always have a place in my heart.

Mitch was a beautiful and dedicated man whose gifts to the children of Monson are everlasting. Our prayers are with Betty.

I came to know Mitch through scouting. He epitomizes the care and concern the scouting community and leadership promotes. His love of scouting and the higher standards it invokes will be his legacy.
