Anne
Mary Ann and I are so sorry to see Bob's passing.
I remember our Bridge Games and my being a part of yours and Bob'wedding, although Ted caused your anxiety for Bob's being somewhatlate.
Bob was my first real friend after coming to St. Louis from Jefferson City in 1959.
Sincerely,
Tom Schmidt

This week the St. Louis Asian American community mourn the passing of a leader and a great person, Robert M. Mitori.
I felt blessed to know Bob through JACL and many other community events. Just last Sept at the Japanese Festival, I saw the smiles on his face - so peaceful, so satisfied that the next generation carried on the tradition of the festival.
We talked about sports, whether the St. Louis Cardinals will make the trip to World Series, about the St. Louis Blues. I will always remember our last conversation because it represents Bob Mitori - always loving, smiling, caring about others and a great leader in our community.
Rest well, Bob. We love you, we will miss you but you are always with us. We will make you proud by carrying on the Asian American heritage and traditions.
Mrs. Olivia Pieknik
