He is one of those people who leaves a positive impression on you forever. He converted my dad to Catholicism at that time. Even decades later, my family is still effected by the love and peacefulness he exudes. He is certainly up there with the most wonderful people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing in my life. We are about to adopt a new puppy and my fiancée mentioned the name Mitchell because of a mountain in the Carolinas. I instantly loved the name because of a wonderful man I once knew. Love you father Mitch- thank you for making this world a better place. I thank you for all you have done for us and the communities you have worked in.

And use to help out a little with the store, I was just a kid. I hope all is well for you. Judy.

New Haven and trips to the beach in your Mom’s car are a happy memory. Being rushed by you playing football at St. Joe’s, not so much. I’ve stopped by the rectory a few times while traveling between home in Brewster and relatives in New Haven, but never managed to find you in. I’ll keep trying. Congratulations on your 40 years of priesthood.

BTW, we just got back from spending a weekend with Dick Devine at Breezy.

We’re going to be holding a St. John Kanty Prep Reunion/Celebration in Erie this year. It would be great to see you again. http://www.kantyalumni.com for details. Many of us had the utmost respect for you during our years at Kanty. You were a fantastic teacher, Coach, Priest, and Mentor to all of us. (how else could I get straight A’s in Latin?!) Thank You and Take care…. Mike (G77)
