Services have been announced

As so many of you knew Mitch over his long career, we wanted to share the information for his memorial services to be held in October.  

If you wish to send a card, please send it care of our office and we will be sure to deliver it to his wife, Susan. In addition, his family has indicated that they are continuing to monitor Mitch’s email address (mitcheckel@icloud.com) and personal notes can be sent directly to his family at that email address.

We thank all of you who have sent notes to date remembering Mitch. He was a beloved colleague and mentor, as well as a gentleman and a kind and generous human being. Rest in peace Mitch.
