To the Matej family, very sorry for your loss. Mitch was one of a kind. Never at a loss for words and always spoke his mind. More importantly, he´d give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. That is Mitch. He will be missed.

Mitch always gave me his honest opinions, and wasn't shy about it. He was a man of his convictions; rare these days. You've got God's ear now!

Kathleen and family; so very sorry for your loss. Mitch was very special, and I was blessed to call him a friend. We met during my first weeks @ Anixter 24 years ago and we remained good friends throughout, across the border. Thinking of you from Canada.
