What a sad and unpleasant surprise–Mitch always had a way of making you smile–even if you hadn’t seen him in awhile. I could always expect a smile, a hug and encouragement. Sad that there aren’t enough people like him in the world and now there is one less.
With love and sympathy. Enjoy the memories.
I am sure the “LIGHT” shining through the darkness is Mitch guiding us in this moment to better days! I will miss you my friend.. My love & condolences to all. Peace Johnny
People disappear, but they never really go away. Their spirits put the sun to bed, wake up the grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you may see and hear Mitch dancing and playing his music in a cloud during a “lightning” storm. He is singing,” Don’t miss me too much. The view is awesome and I’m doing just fine.” I will look for Mitch in shooting stars and wind songs. Peace and love to all who loved him.
Sending my sympathy and condolences. I was singing “Who’da Thunk it” last night, thinking of my friend. I do have a photo i would like to try to send down, if I had an email address to send it to. peace, Gary
I first met lightnin in Colo. City where we both worked at Columbia House a few years ago. Then I worked Security at the Colo. State Fair at the Events Center where he worked with Jonnie Setser. He and I shared quite a few good laughs and whenever possible a good Cuban Cigar.Mitch always had a good joke as well as I always had one to tell. I’m gonna miss lightnin’ and the way he always made you laugh.
Sending you my thoughts and sympathy.
I am so sorry……
