Dear Ann,
I didn't know of the Memorial Service, and would have been there for you and Bob. A dear friend whose integrity was beyond question. Bob, you will be missed. Still have the picture of you and Regis at my patio party...

Bob Mitchell taught me about business and businessmen when he chose me to assist him during the process of accreditation for The Huntington Chamber of Commerce....over 40 years ago. We spoke of our families,
and I recall how he loved his "girls" and his son "Jimmy"...He was a man of strength...I left Long Island about 20 years ago..and went to say "good-bye" to Bob and thank him for his advice thru the years...I am glad he stayed for 94 years!...A life well lived...I, too, have been widowed, and I wish you all the peace which comes with happy memories..He was a good man.
