Mitch

Greg P on Sun June 26, 2005 1:23 PM User is offlineView users profile



I have not visited this site since mid 2003. As I was browsing the posts last night, I noticed that there were no posts by Mitch.

After a search, I was shocked to read the post regarding his passing.

This news was saddening, to say the least. Mitch must have spent dozens of hours typing posts trying to help me get my Torino cooling good. That he would spend so much time helping a youngster get his car cooling speaks volumes about his character. Every time I get into the car and turn on the air I remember the help I got on this site. I'll pause a little next time I drive it, and say "Thanks, Mitch".

I will miss him.

Great post Greg, Yes we all miss him very much he had his own unique ways in explaining things sorta like a good father would to his child.

I may have asked this before, has anyone kept in touch with his family? I was wondering how his wife and family were doing.

Indeed, Mitch was quite a guy, and I think I speak for many here that he is still greatly missed.

For years, many of us assumed that POA valves were not repairable, let alone adjustable for retrofitting, but Mitch uncovered the "mystery" of a device that was used in millions of vehicles from 1966 up until as late as 1980. Before his untimely death, I believe he even had his sights set on VIR and EEVIR systems... now we'll probably never know.

It's amazing that Mitch lived though the hell of the California wildfires. I remember how we were all relieved to learn he was all right, and his house barely damaged, after not hearing from him for a while during that disaster. I often wonder, however, if the the effects of those fires in some way contributed to his death. We'll never know that either.

Though I never met Mitch personally, I didn't have to in order to know he was an exceptional person. I suspect the family he left behind are equally exceptional as well.

Joe, if I remember correctly Mitch had taken a long flight (not sure where) and died from a clot in his hotel room. If I remember correctly they thought that the long flight may have caused the clot.

Mitch is truly missed and the srticles he contributed to this forum still help many!
