You guys were always great friends to me and my brother Keith when we came up to Tahoe to visit our grandparents.  It usually ended up being me and Mitch hangin' out together, 'cause we were the same age, and he always made me feel welcome and feel like I was part of the gang.  He was always happy and confident and open-minded and humble.  And he always wanted to have fun!  He was always a really genuine, good-hearted, fun-loving person, and I was really honored to go to Mitch and Sarah's wedding, which was REALLY a phenomenal wedding!  The funny thing is, we probably only saw each other about a month out of the year at the most throughout our childhood to the age of 18, but he made a big impact on my life as someone who stood out as a genuinely warm, engaging person, who welcomed all, and welcomed life, and loved it.
