Dear Family, Jack and I shared a common interest in genealogy. We both descended from George Fred Mitchell and Sylvia Button. Effie Mitchell Dunne was my grandmother, so she and Jack's father were siblings. Jack shared a wealth of information with me that he had accumulated about the Mitchell family. I will be always be grateful for that. May the Lord comfort you during this season of loss. With love, Theresa Robinson

Phylis, I am so sorry to read about Jack's passing. He kind of took me under his wing at Schweizer Aircraft when I was hired in April, 1962. He was a very easy person to work with. He was a very clever person and I remember the boat and travel trailer he built from scratch.

Dear Phyllis: I am so sorry I cannot be there today with you. I chose this time to 'write' to you, knowing you are all gathered at the cemetary. My heart is there with you. What a honorable man the world has lost. His kindness, generosity and selflessness has touched so many. I will always remember him with great admiration and love. With deepest sympathy, much love and great big hugs, Jody & family.

SherBear, There is no pain on earth that heaven can not heal. I feel like the bond that you and I share has brought me so close to your family, that I hurt as well. Remember what we spoke about recently, God has something so wonderful in store for all of you. You my dear, deserve nothing but the best and I truly believe God is going to see to that! In all my life, I've never known a more beautiful person than you! I love you Sherry and you too Mrs. Mitchell, may God bless you both in your time of need. And remember this....God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. Please call me Sherry, doesn't matter what time of day or night! And I'm sorry that I'm not there for you now. I had no idea until 10 minutes ago, I'm so ashamed. I love you girlfriend.

- Renee Shapiro, Bluffton, SC

Sherry, my heart is with you and your family. I know that the next days and weeks will be difficult for you but I know that you will be alright.

I knew Jack many years with Grumman / Gulfstream. He was a great individual and a mentor to a majority of the Procurement personnel. He was one of the nicest persons I ever knew, a true 'gentleman', and it was a pleasure to work with him. Our prayers are with you all as we know that he is sitting in better place.

- David and Betsy Trucksis, Savannah, GA

Sherry, I never met your father, but it sounds like he was a very good man & a wonderful father. You & your family have my deepest sympathies in this time of mourning. I know you as a strong & resilient person, so I know you will get through this. I will pray for you & your mom.

Cook, clean, listen, pray with you, cry with you ok the praying and crying are a done deal even if we are not in the same room. Please just call me. Love & Hugs Marcia & Lynn

Dear Mitchell Family, It sadden me deeply to hear about Jack's passing. He was a very caring and generous man. I worked with Jack at Gulfstream Aerospace for over 10 years. My prayers are with you all during this time. God Bless you all.

Jack was a wonderful loving man. Smart too, I think he could fix anything. At least he did at our house. He would always come over and fix any of our handyman problems. Our house is still standing thanks to him fixing all of the columns that we have knocked down with the cars over the years. When I was little, my brothers and I always wanted to look at the Mitchells house, at Christmas time, so we could look at the twinkling red bells he always put up. How he kept them working after all these years, we will never know.. Ricky and I always loved going in their backyard to see all of the plants, birds and the fish pond. When they would go out of town, Mr. Mitchell would give me the combination to the lock and I got the important job of watering the flowers,and fill up the bird feeders while they were gone. Jack gave us one of the fish ponds, and it is now a memorial to Lauren in our own garden. Which will in time, hopefully look like the Mitchell's backyard. When I was in college both Jack and Phyll really encouraged my interest in photography. He let me have some antique cameras to fiddle around with. All the time he was keeping up with technology and learning about the new cameras. As we came into the computer age he was more than glad help us out there as well. He and Phyllis are so very special to us. I never had a grandpa, and when my grandmothers died and Lauren died about the same time, we adopted each other. They have helped mold me in becoming the person I am today. When Lauren died that must have been one of the hardest times for Jack. He always knew that she was up in Heaven looking down over us. As we are missing him so much now, I am glad that he isn't hurting anymore and is with Lauren again. Jack,you will be greatly missed and we will love you forever.
