MITCHELL CHARLES HILL

He was (and still is) the gold standard for high-tech execs in my book. What a great mentor and leader, I still keep an award signed by him on my desk.

We miss you everyday. You changed the world in miraculous ways. Everyone in our family is better because of your influence. WE LOVE YOU WITH ALL OUR HEARTS.

Mitch was an outstanding guy -- professionally and personally. I worked with and for Mitch at Andersen Consulting (before Accenture and Avanade) in the High Tech Industry group in the West. Mitch was an inspirational leader who walked the talk among his partner peer group and with junior team members alike. When Mitch chose to take the CEO job at Avanade it was a very big deal for our firm and Microsoft, and especially for Mitch. I'll never forget his phone call when he told me...

I got the opportunity to work for Mitch on his home projects. He was a Great person and will be missed! Condolences to Mitch's family.

Bill, Julie, Cherie & children and all whom loved Mitch, we are so very sorry for your loss. I hope and pray that your faith can move you all through this horrible time day by day. Your family has gone thru such horrible losses, its unimaginable. I Love you all so much and miss you terribly. Didn't get this email until today, fell sick visiting Brian and Loren in SC and winded up in the hospital. Fine now. I would have absolutely come to be there for Cherie and all of you. I Love you...

Words can never express how much we all
have loved dear Mitch. I have known him
since he was a baby and we have been to-gether as late as this past September. What a privilege it has been for me to know and love this great man. My love and heartfelt condolence to dear Cherie, Mitchell and Matt. From Uncle Thomas Sanner

Condolences to Mitch's family and friends. He will be missed by many. Nancy Dixon

Mitch was one of the first people I met when considering a career move to Avanade in May 2000. His energy, integrity and intelligence were ultimately deciding factors for me to join his newly formed company.

I enjoyed working with Mitch over the years to grow Avanade to where it is today. He was an outstanding mentor who provided much thoughtful guidance without giving the feeling of being guided.

He really loved and was proud of his family. One could tell by the spark in...
