Ed, Walter and Michael I am sorry for all your family members that have passed. You have taken care of your loved ones during the past years as Mitchell has of his parents and brother. I remember Mitch at the Christian Center at the north end of Weirton. He coached basketball,weight lifting and wood shop. He always had a smile as you have. He was proud of his service during WWII and any help he gave in life. I worked at the Tin Mill near his shop untill he retired. He wanted to make sure his and Walter’s names were listed on WSX Honor Roll. Like I said, he was a proud man. Peace be with you always. Thanks for your visit at my mother’s showing. Angelo Semenick
