I have so many funny and loving memories of Mitch. We worked alongside each other for years. I loved working with him. He was a generous soul and great educator.
He knew everything about Estee Lauder and the millions of other products out there. His passion was true and his talent was greater. His laugh was like no other and infectious. I will truly miss him. You're at peace now.

My sister, Peg Weedon, and Mitch were very close in college and early career days. Even though they had drifted apart, Mitch was supportive of her and me at the end of her life. I'm so sadden by his passing. I remember him as creative, talented, supportive, fun. RIP

I worked with Mitch in many different sets and different projects through out 10 years and we always had many deep conversations. I loved coming to work and swing his beautiful smile and receiving his big hugs because I´m a hugger. He always tried his new makeup for darker skin on me lol to see how it looked. He was an amazing human full of love he never had anything negative to say. I will miss him. My deepest condolences to his family.

When I close my eyes, I can hear your laugh. It was so distinctively wicked. I looked forward to our early mornings together - me in your chair - you with your delightful commentary and unapologetic frankness, all while swiftly applying hair and make up magic.
You made every person fortunate enough to sit in your chair feel beautiful, acknowledged and seen. I see you Mitch. And, so do the thousands whose hearts you´ve touched. You made an indelible mark underscored in coral lipstick. We love you Mitch.

There´s many an individual that lights up your face because you know this person.
Mitch, was one of these individuals that you knew would welcome you, help you, and want nothing, but the best for you.
It´s going to be very strange not to see you sitting in the NBC cafeteria eating lunch before work.
Bless you with all my heart.
Let his family and friends know he was a special and kindhearted person.
You´ll be surely missed

Mitchell was one of the sweetest people I´ve met in the television and film world. I met him at NBC and he was always a ray of light, always very positive. He could really brighten anybody´s day. I will never forget him, helping me with my Headshots because I wanted to pursue a career in acting he was not only incredibly talented, but very kind. Xoxo

We started in the Union together at night time NBC. Mitch had just resigned from a supervisory job at L´Oréal and I had just sold my Salon and we both shared our feelings - did we do the right thing, giving up great positions to join the Union. My heart is broken learning of my Buddy Mitch passing. He was special ,,, J

You have left us with so many memories. I don´t think I will ever know anyone with a cooler name.. Mitch Thor Ely. Pretty sure that you were supposed to be a superhero with a name like that..You were to a lot of people. I bet you didn´t even know that.

We talk about you all the time we laugh at some of the silly things that you used to say, and continue to keep your memory alive here. If I know one thing for sure, heaven is in for the ride of its life. Make `em sparkly and glossy up there Mitch!!!
