Dear Hetty,
We knew Mitch via the Arlington Heights Current Events discussion group. Mitch was kind, intelligent, and knowledgeable. His contributions were always thoughtful. Even when he disagreed, his responses gave the group new insight. We think of him often. No one will ever fill the chair he usually sat in. We will miss him greatly.

We are so sorry that we missed his funeral as we were out-of-town. I understand the St. Louis rabbi who officiated was the same wonderful rabbi loved by Roy's sister. "May his memory be a blessing."

Heidi!,I am not sure you remember me, but I am Mitch's first cousin. I have many fond memories of Mitch as we were growing up--playing wth him at family picnics. He was always a great guy--friendly and accepting. I saw him occasionally through our mutual involvement with elementary education. I hope your many fond memories will sustain you during this difficult time. My husband Erwin passed away 9 years ago, so I have some insight to what you are going through,
