Mitch was a great guy and will be greatly missed by my husband and I. He was a mentor and friend to my husband. He always told it like it is and had a great sense humor and would be the first to give you the shirt off his back. Jo-ellen you are in our thoughts and prayers and if there is anything we can do for you please let us know.

To the whole Hewitt family. Our fathers Pres and Eddie were the best of friends and all of the Hewitt kids were like cousins to us. We called each others parents Aunt and Uncle, although we were not related. I will miss Mitch very much. I was lucky I was able to see him now and again. He would come to purchase parts from me at Nutmeg International, my place of employment. Brian you know how I felt about your father. He was that cool older cousin I looked up to as a young boy and man. I will truly miss seeing him. Please except a our deepest of condolences from The Family Of Uncle Eddie Wozniak.

I knew Mitch from a long time ago, but every time we would run into one another he would ask about my family and take a few minutes to tell me about his family. May you find some peace in knowing he will be well remembered and loved.

When he came in the office he would announce that it's no one just me.. We all knew he was not well, but he never would complain.. He was helpful to everyone who came to the shop for his assistance. His problem was he never could say no to anyone. He will be sadly missed by all of us. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. If you need anything please, call...
