Mitch retired from TWA in 1994 and later went to work for Home Depot until his retirement at the prime age of 85. Mitch passed away on December 26, 2016, surrounded by his family, and is survived by his wife and four children. He will be missed as a loving husband, father, brother, grandfather, brother-in-law, father-in-law, uncle, cousin and friend.
