Sandi and I were stunned to learn of Mitch's passing.Mitch was a great friend and a role model for alot of us.Above all Mitch was a gentleman first class,I was proud to know him and proud of him.

We were so saddened to learn of Mitch's passing; he was a wonderful individual and a great friend.  My twin brother and I first met him at Denby High School and later we became fraternity brothers at MSU.  In fact, Mitch was the main reason we joined Sigma Nu -- his infectious personality and yet tenacious approach to life was remarkable.  He will be missed by many, and we send our deepest sympathies to his family.

Saddened to learn of Mitch's passing.  Will always have fond memories of our MSU days, football and Sigma NU.  Mitch was always the "better person", he will be missed.  My very best to his family.

The day I spend with Mitch in late June was a treat.  The usual grin that seemed to always graced his Santa-Claus jowly face was wider than usual.  He seemed at peace.  He talked very affectionately of his Catch-22-like Viet Nam days, delighting about he gamed the system by getting acess to this micro-wave transmittor for his communication work, bringing fresh milk in from Hong Kong,and despite a lower ranking, landing the only "modern" house with hot water on his base (where he hosted Miss America for a night after her USO show unbeknownst to the authorities who were looking for her).  Mitch can rest in peace knowing he did a fabulous job of rearing Jess and Jen, their futures look bright.  Plus after a slight marriage delay (seems comical in retrospect), he did right by my cousin Dareen.  Mitch's deep empathy for his niece Kara's passing two month previous only now becomes prescient.  My deepest sympathies to Dareen, Jessica, and Jennifer, I'm sure you're grateful for the time you all had together.  Our extended family lost its dear patriarch.

I knew Mitch from Denby and Michigan State.  I was always charmed by his beguiling smile, athletic ability and gentlemanly ways.  It appears Mitch had a full life with many special moments with family and friends.  I wish you much support and comfort as you go through this difficult time.  I'm sorry for your loss.  Fondly, Sheila Knight Burnosky

Mitch will be missed by everyone he touched with his kindness and friendship, he never missed giving you that special smile that would light up a room. God will take good care of him until we all see him again.

Dear Darene, Jess & Jenny Newman, 
My prayers are with you during this very sad time, Mitch was loved by all his friends. Knowing him for 55 years of his life you just knew what a fantastic person he was to all of us. He will be missed so much. Love, Penny Nicholl

Mitch is a man that I'll always hold in the highest regard and a man that I'll strive to be like. He set the bar very high in my eyes and I'll miss him.

Rest in peace, Mitch....and may the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.
I never say, "Goodbye". "See you later", is far more appropriate. Until then.......
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Darene, Jessica and Jennifer.
God Bless
Linda and Walt

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Mitch was a great guy that everyone liked and enjoyed being with.  He was a SPARTAN thru and thru and will be missed by all of his MSU friends.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dareen, Jessica, and Jenny,
  We were shocked to hear of Mitch's death. I know you will all miss him. We will too. Mitch was a wonderful husband, father and friend. We always enjoyed our time with him. We now live in Florida so we will not be able to see you, but know that our prayers are with you. It is times like this that test our faith. I pray you will seek comfort in the Lord. May He hold you in His hands.

With love,
Alan, Madeline and Kelley

Mitch was my oldest and dearest friend. Our friendship goes back 55 years to when we played football for Detroit Denby High School. He was a year younger and a half year ahead of me in school.That speaks to his intelligence.
      He was fast, quick and tenacious. He, all of 5'8," out jumped me for a jump ball in basketball practice. I was 6' 4."I went to state of a full ride in football. Mitch walked on and won a full ride! This speaks to his athletic ability.
      In all the years I knew Mitch, he treated me like a brother. He looked in on me when my life turned to chaos and was there for whatever was needed. You're right about his laugh. We would start telling stories and the laughing would start, and his was infectious. This speaks to his humanity.
     Compassionate, intelligent, a marvelous athlete, and the kind of friend that can never be replaced, a brother. That is Mitch Newman. The world is a better place for his being in it.

We are deeply saddened by the heartbreaking loss of our dear friend Mitch. We will always remember the many years of Great Oaks swim memories with our kids and the countless buffets that we shared! Mitch's smile will be missed by all who had the good fortune of being his friend...Go Spartans! Love, Tom & Carrie Neville, John, Andrew & Stephen

Mitch was a great friend and I will miss him very deeply. I will never forget those countless hours poolside with him watching the kids swim. He was someone that always had a positive outlook on life. His laugh always brought a smile to my face. Fare thee well Mitch.
