Terrie, Mike and Larson Family - I am so sorry for your loss. Mitch and I played baseball together in little league in Simi and some pick up basketball games as well. A great guy who will be missed greatly. God bless, Dave

Even though I never got the privilege to know Mitch I did however get the sincere privilege to meet one of his sons,Seth.I moved to California in 2012 not knowing anyone. he was the very first person I met. It was a day I will forever hold onto as it changed my life. I could tell from how sweet, sincere, warm hearted his son Seth is that he had to be just like his father. How passionate his son was about caring for his father it was obvious thats how Mitch was with his family. I will be forever grateful and blessed for crossing paths with their son. I am truly sorry for your familys loss. Your family are and always will be in my thoughts and prayers. always.
