Dear Louise, Bobby, Ivar, and Gerry,
Uncle Adrian will always have a special spot in my life memories! What a wonderful, kind, and caring man. Whenever we talked he would always have me laughing at some point and he always asked about my kids and talked of his. He was truly my Dad's best friend. I will always remember the time he visited us in Illinois. We all had such a nice visit. Please know you have all been in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Your Cousin Sue

Dear Louise and all of Adrian's kids and family,
I will miss Adrian immensely. He was my adopted grandpa, mentor in the clothing business and a wonderful friend. He was special to not only myself, but my mom and husband as he would speak to them as often as me on our phone "visits". Cherish all of your memories as he will always be there in your hearts. I wish I could have made it to the services as I would loved to have met all of you in person. (I've heard so much about all of you over the years) Bobbie I believe, and I share a birthday too!

Adrain, and his brothers, were without peers. They were incredibly kind, giving, caring individuals who I am honored to have known. When you ask if a life was well lived, I think about how well he touched our lives and all whom were lucky to have shared his company. His laugh will resonant through me and I feel deeply priviledged to have called him a friend . Everyone should feel so blessed to have an "Adrian" in their lives! Thank you Adrian for the gift you were to us all! God bless and safe journey home! Love, Maureen, John, Anna Maria and Meghan Marini

My daugther and I loved and will miss Mr. Mitchell. He was always there with a smile, a joke and a big hug. He was like another grandfather to my daughter. Everyone was always welcomed into his garden. I think he gave away more than he kept for himself. He was always talking about his family and how much they meant to him.

Adrian was an incredible man. When I would speak to him on the phone, he always had a joke and when hanging up, he never failed to tell me that he loved me. I love you too, Adrian. His memory will live on in all of us.
