Very sorry to hear of Mitch's passing. It's very disturbing when one's comtemporary leaves us this soon. Clear back in high school, Mitch had a real fondness for cars, which carried over into his life's work as a mechanic. My sympathies to all of his family, including Deann and her family as well.
My sympathy to the family. So sorry.
