Our family extends our deepest sympathy to your family. Mitch was a nice man and will be missed.
We were so sorry to hear of Mitch’s death. He was a wonderful father and grandfather and he will be greatly missed. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
Steve, so sorry to hear about your dad. I am sure he was so very proud of you and your family. God bless all of you and trust that he is in a better place.
I am very sorry to hear about Mitch. He and I worked together for the duration of his ARC employment and saw each other occasionally thereafter at ARC functions. I could always count on Mitch for a straight answer to my questions. I appreciated his sense of humor. He was a good guy.
Louise, Peter and Stephen. Our sympathies on the passing of your Dad. Mitch was a wonderful guy. I was at Denyse’s and his wedding and remember the event well. Though we are distant (a couple of removals) cousins, your uncle Mike and were very close growing up. (Actually he’s a day older than I). Rest assured that your Dad is in a good place and happy to be with your Mom. God bless – our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. Love, Gene and Alice Lambert
Dear Stork Family, We moved away from McLean in 2006 but kept in touch with your Dad. He was a wonderfully kind and thoughtful neighbor, volunteering to take care of our dog Fred on more than one occasion! We enjoyed our holiday get togethers with you all and we remember our time in McLean with great fondness, due in large part to what a great neighbor we had in Mitch. Love, Moira, Michael and all the kids!
