"Thoughts and prayers are with all of Mitch's family and many friends at this time. I truly enjoyed working with Mitch when he was the foreman at Fremont, he would do everything he could to make sure we always had what we needed. I especially remember that if you wanted to find Mitch in the morning he would be in the back room of the depot with his paper and coffee and enjoying the company of his fellow BNSF employees. He will be sadly missed"
