Mitch was born on June 12, 1959 in Hrgud, Bosna & Hercegovina. He emigrated to Canada in the early 1980s and always remained proud of his Serbian upbringing and values. Smart and hardworking, Mitch built an amazing legacy and family. He married Clara (nee Buono) in 1986 and had four loving children. A wonderful husband, father and grandfather, actively involved in all of their lives. He cherished his grandchildren who brought so much joy to his life. Mitch was sincerely kind and funny, always helping others, someone you could lean on, and a true example of a gentleman. He was a giant of a man with a heart to match and will be missed by many.
