Terri - we are so sorry for your loss. My memories of playing softball with Mitch are classic summer fun.Trading barbs with him regarding my outfielder play vs his infielder play, my Republican view vs his Democrat view and just the overall witty conversation we had will be missed. His was one for the ages and a person I considered a true friend.
God Bless

Hey Mitch,
I spent the last months trying to put into words what our 35 years of friendship has meant to me. But, sadly there is nothing I can say that would do you justice and there aren't any words that could possibly capture your brilliant spirit.
In the end, all I can say is thank you. From the bottom of my heart thank you for allowing me to be part of your life. You brought so much joy and laughter to me and my family and for that I will always be grateful.
We will sorely miss you, but we will always have the unforgettable memories of our friendship to give us comfort.
John McCarthy & Family

Mitch,
I haven't been in touch with you for quite a while. I remember the good times we had as we were growing up in grade school. Playing "King of the Hill" at recess, 4-square, dodgeball, kick ball etc. That's going pretty far back. As we got older, we stayed close withiout seeing each other because of the special bond we had as friends forever. I miss your smile and I miss your laughter. We'll meet again and do it all over again. I'm going to miss you so much man. Take Care, Robert Strom

Mitch,
We are all deeply sadened by the news of your early departure from this earth.
I will never forget your laughter and smile, as it always seemed to bring cheer to all that where near.
May the Lord hold your hand throughout your travel, as you deserve the best that anyone could handle.
I am lucky to have had you as a friend in the past. God knows it was a blast.
Let me assure you that you will be missed, but we all know that God has no list.
May I extend my deepest sympathy to the Kopeny and Holtz families, as I know the feeling of loss cannot be put into words.
Hopefully someday our paths will cross, along with all that we have
lost.
May God Bless you forever!

Mitch-
You have always brought a laugh, and a smile to my face throughout the years....but now it's tears Buddy.
I've always remembered you as a very strong willed & vibrant spirit. And it will remain that way too.
Your laughter and smile will remain in my memory, just as our Friendship will forever remain in my heart.
Until I see you smiling again Mitch....
may God hold you in the palm of his hand. (like a roll of quarters!)
My deepest sympathy to the entire Kopeny & Holtz Familys at this difficult time.
My prayers are with you all. Mitch was a good Friend...I will miss him dearly!
