Mitch was a hard-working man. He worked two jobs in order to take care of his family. He moved to Wisconsin when he retired because he loved the country and loved being outdoors. He looked forward to planting his garden every year and he enjoyed riding his motorcycle in the summertime. He had a great sense of humor and always had a good joke to tell. But the one thing that he was most proud of was his family. He loved them very much. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
