 10/20/1928 - 11/2/2011 Mike Mitchell, 83, started his heavenly journey on Wednesday, November 2. Mike was born in Harrisburg on October 20, 1928 and graduated from Pennsylvania School for the Deaf in 1947.
He was a printer/pressman for Duplex Products, retiring in 1990 to fully enjoy gardening, visiting friends & traveling with his wife, deep sea fishing with his friends, and making memories with his grandchildren.
Mike had so much love and pride for his family and his service to the Deaf community.

He was amazed at the advances in technology during his lifetime that enhanced his ability to stay connected with Deaf friends and family from all over the country. Mike always had a sweet smile on his face and was loved by so many who will cherish memories of their time with him.
Mike's life was a celebration filled with humor and love.
