Mitch, just found out today about you. I had some awesome times with you when we first met somewhere back around Kindergarten/1st grade at Holy Cross then we split up. We then met up again at Northwood Junior High as we both remembered each other and had even more fun & crazier times from there. RIP Bro! I send my condolences to Mike, Matt, your Mom and Dad.

Mitch and I go way back to our Jr. High school days. He was a great friend and will be missed. I am so sorry that I could not be there in his times of need. He always stood by my side. To Carol, Mike and Matt, I am truly sorry for your loss.

Mitch was like a brother to me and I will miss him terribly. He was a life-long friend, one that I shared many happy and fun-filled times with. I still can't believe I won't be able to pick up the phone and call him. We were not afraid to tell each other what we were thinking or feeling which could lead to some sibling-type bantering that oftentimes ended with one of us hanging up on the other.

Rest in peace my friend. I wish I could have been by your side at the end but you will live on in my heart forever. Thank you for your friendship and a lifetime of laughter. You will be missed. Until we meet again Big Daddy. XOXOXO.

A heart has many chambers. Young love is carefree but priorities changed and our son Marcus was mine. Your lineage will always live through him. May you have peace. My condolences to his mother & brothers.

Mitch was a huge Elvis Fan. He loved listening to Neil Diamond music. He was Full of Humor and Courageous. He did a great impersonation of the "Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz "Put 'em up, put 'em uuuuuup! Which one of you first? I'll fight ya both together if you want. I'll fight ya with one paw tied behind my back! I'll fight ya standin' on one foot! I'll fight ya with my eyes closed!
