While at Laurel Place he participated in activities such as fitness and trivia and he loved to sing.

Messages of Condolence

Rest in peace Mitch. We rented his house on the highway in Burton for several years and he came by frequently for dinner and to visit. He once even brought me a partridge that he had shot. We loved Mitch and sent him Christmas cards for many years after we moved away. Glad that he enjoyed his latter years on the coast. I cannot picture him singing though.

- Carol and Jim Tomlinson and family
