William Mitchell Obituary
William was predeceased by his sister Ruth Kelly and survived by his wife of 72 years Dolores "Sue" Mitchell; one daughter and three sons; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Bill was always ready to greet people with a joke or try to pull their legs. He was industrious and a perfectionist and taught those traits to his children. He was always ready to lend a hand and share an opinion.
Bill served in the US Army and spent his career at the Rochester Gas and Electric. Bill was also a part-time electrician and always prided himself on doing the job right the first time.
In retirement, Bill and Sue escorted trips to destinations in Florida and beyond. He was a member of the Neighborhood Watch, and the Woodpeckers and Men's Clubs in Burnt Store Colony in Punta Gorda. He and Sue were Charter members of Christ View United Methodist in Henrietta, New York, and were members of First United Methodist (now New Life in Christ) in Punta Gorda, Florida.
A Committal Service will be held at Charlotte Memorial Gardens in Punta Gorda on Monday, November 20 at 2:00 pm.
A Service of Remembrance will be held at New Life in Christ Church in Punta Gorda at a later time. Contributions in Bill's name may be made to New Life in Christ or the Peace River Wildlife Center.

As a new RGE employee Bill always gave me the benefit of his knowledge regardless of his busy schedule. Knotted for his top hat and trench coat he visited his customers to be sure he gave them what they needed. This practice I adopted through my RGE career
for 34 year. Think of him often for passing along this practice. He is one of the great ones! Joseph Pasquini, System Forester
