Sheri,

Words right now can't express how sorry I am and how much I will miss Mitch. Our families go back 30 years or more and it's heartbreaking to learn of his passing. My mom sends her deepest sympathies. Please know you can call me for ANYTHING! Mitch was so sweet and made visits to grandma and granpa's a lot of fun.

My deepest sympathy to Mitch's family. Although I never spent that much time with him the time I did spend was great. He was one of the friendliest and "Biggest" people I've ever known. He would do anything for anyone. He will truly be missed.

I never got a chance to met Mitch but heard so much about him from Cortni. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you during this time of need. While it's always hard to lose a loved one we must not forget that they are going to a much greater place.

We will ALL miss you. I met Mitch while working at FPP and all that I can say is he was his own person and I really enjoyed being around him. One of the things that we had in common was our love of NASCAR. I also am a huge fan of Dale Sr. and Dale Jr. Don't worry Mitch I will continue to support and root for Jr. in your memory. My deepest sympathy to your family. God Speed Mitch. I will miss you.

Mitch was such a wonderful & caring person. I hadn't seen him many times since high school, but he's one of those people I think about on a regular basis. We always had a blast with Mitch: whether it was in crew with Singers, cruising around in his red mini truck, or just hanging out at Horn's shed. He was such a good friend & a great person to be around. God bless, Mitch. You will be greatly missed!!

I've known "Big Mitch" since he started working at Ford Power Products (Detroit, MI). What can I say, but we will all miss him immensely! There isn't a thing Mitch wouldn't do for his fellow man. What a shock to hear of this sad news. I stand together with my wife, Debbie, and all my fellow brethrand from the Livonia Moose Lodge #1317 in wishing Mitch a fond farewell and brighter journeys as your soul takes that eternal ride with our Lord in the Kingdom of God!
You are in better place Mitch, we love and miss you.
Your friend, Todd Soper (Garden City, MI)

I will always remember Mitch and the way he treated me when I'd run into him. He never ignored me, he would come over and ask how I was and how Cory and Casey was. I had such fun with him, Robbie Dean, Matt Risley and all in Singers. It was never boring with those boys. My heart goes out to his Mom and sister.
