Harold "Mitch" Mitchell

Very sorry to hear of your loss. Mitch and my husband, Winters "Tex" Payne, served on the Covina P.D. together in the 1950's. Mitch was a wonderful friend and co-worker.

I looked up "quintessential good neighbor" in the dictionary, and there was a picture of Mitch and of course Joanne. Then I looked up "blessings from heaven".....and there they were again. Thanks Mitch for always being there for us.

I'm so touched by the messages left here. I'm so glad my Dad touched so many people. He was the sweetest, kindest man I ever knew (and very smart, too!). He never spanked me, or spoke harshly to me. He just loved me unconditionally. I will miss you so much, Daddy. Rest In Peace.

Love, your daughter Cyndi

A long time neighbor and family friend whose presence brought smiles to our faces. Rest in peace Mitch.

Uncle Budd, you were such a kind and loving person. I am so glad I was able to talk to you in your final days. You sounded so much like dad on the phone. I can't ever thank you enough for walking me down the aisle on my wedding day. I am glad you are reunited with you family. !at God bless you. Love

Cyndi and I became best friends when we were three years old so having known Mitch for fifty years, I have too many memories to share here. . .all of them wonderful. . .so I will just say thank you for loving me always and treating me like a daughter. You have included me, accepted me, sometimes got upset with me (like when I spilled my shake at Bob's Big Boy) but always loved me. My life has been blessed because of your generosity and kind heart. Although I am sad that you are no longer with us, I thank God that He blessed me with the gift of you.

With much love and prayers,
Denise
