    I have been trying for the last year to find where Mitchell was. We lived across the street growing up and also worked for my Dad at the Singer Store. Please know how sorry we are for your loss. One of my special memories is Mitchell teaching me how to ride a bicycle (or at least trying to teach me). When I saw one of his hobbies was tinkering I know that my Dad taught him a little something as Daddy was the best Tinkerer I knew. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Karen Sue Coleman Leonardi
