Lynne, Nick and Brock, we are so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of playing softball with Mitch. Recent KC trip to a Royals game a BBQ crawl, and trip to our farm with he and Noel, was so much fun. Mitch was a wonderful man and a good friend. He will be missed. Prayers for peace and strength for you all. Kevin and Cindy Rooney.
