I first met Mitch when he worked at Keybanc. In the competitive world of financial services he was one of a kind. He was a wonderful, humble person that loved his family and truly enjoyed what he did for a living. He was the man I wish I could be and I will miss him.

I remember the last time I saw Mitch because it was a tough time in my career. I was struggling professionally & had a baby on the way. After a Midtown work dinner, Mitch and I walked around Times Square and talked about family & investment ideas for an hour. I'm sure it was inconvenient for him since he lived in Hoboken, but he didn't complain. We just enjoyed talking and walking for that hour and I left with a smile on my face. I'm sad I can't take another walk with Mitch in Times Square. He made the world a better, happier place.

My heart aches for Crystal, the kids and rest of his family. Needless to say, my thoughts and prayers are with them. This is a tough loss. I will miss my friend of 16 years. Mitch was the first person I met when I moved into the dorms at The Ohio State University. And from there we shared so many great stories on our path as kids who were trying to become adults in New York. I will always remember the spring break trip where he met Crystal, the Bon Jovi concert and countless other memories that are not appropriate for this forum. Mitch, you will be missed tremendously and I will forever hold on tightly to those great, great times that we had together. May you rest in peace, brother.

So sorry for your loss. Words cannot express the depth of the pain. Jesus said, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
Mitchell and I grew up down the street from each other and had lockers close to each other all though school. May God comfort you all.
