Cathryn,
I'm so glad I met Mitch and heard him sing at the Unforgettables concert. It was a memorable event that I never forgot.
Sending deepest condolences and love.

We spent much FUN time in N.Y.C., long ago, enjoying Mitch's charm, wit, and effervescent company. We will miss him!

Mitch was delightful. Such a pleasure to hang out with. He had a great sense of humor and was always able to find the humor in any situation.
It was always a lot of fun when someone would bring up the fact that Mitch did voiceovers for Total cereal, and he would immediately launch into the script for the commercial in that readily recognizable voice we heard on TV years ago. He brought joy to those in his presence, and will surely be missed.
