James "Pops" Mitchell Sept. 30, 1965 ~ April 15, 2010 Resident of Richmond Maybe it was the simplicity of his nickname. Perhaps it was his infectious smile that made people notice. To some it was the way he could swing a baseball bat or shed blocks on the football field. All remember his kind...

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Pops, you were always there for the kids. You coached my son, and always kept up with him. He and I will never forget you. I know your spirit will always be here for him and you will be that guardian angel to watch over him. You will be truly missed.

"Pops was definetly one of the purest baseball players I ever had the privelige to play with or watch. He and his family always treated everyone like family. I always believed his parents were the driving force that made his heart so big. We reconnected a couple of years ago & I believed him to be doing well. This is a big shock to me & a big loss to us all. We must cherish old friends because our time is limited. I will miss you Pops." Mark Torres (Richmond, Ca.)
