Sandy and family, so very saddened by the sudden loss of my dear cousin Mitchell. My thoughts are with you all. May he rest in peace.
Sandy, I am so sorry to learn of Mitchell’s passing.
May his memory be a blessing.
Words can’t express how sorry we were to hear about Mitchell’s passing. Thinking of you and your family during this tough time.
I was Mitchell’s legal assistant at the law firm of Margolis Edelstein in Pennsylvania beginning in the early 80s for the following 30 years until I retired. He included me in the Jewish holiday dinners when the children were young. Mitchell was a dog lover and enjoyed each pet he had over the years. Mitchell loved his family, and each day at work, he never stopped thinking about his brother, Howard.
Contrary to the reputation and jokes about lawyers, no one could say anything bad about Mitchell – not his adversaries, not his co-workers, not the Court.
I have a lot of good memories from the years working with Mitchell and even after I retired in 2012. It was always fun to reminisce. We have continued to keep in touch over the years, through emails, sharing the good and bad in our lives, with love and respect, and I’ll miss that. Today, October 25, is his birthday.
