Rest in peace Bruce. From  Cindy, your old neighbor on Mountain Ave and friend from class of 1972. I’m sorry I accused you of throwing fish in our pool when it was really Joey!  
Take care Mary Lou and family.

Dear Mary Lou, 
I am really sorry to hear about the loss of Bruce.  My heart goes out to you and your family during this incredibly difficult time.

I have many great memories of Bruce from our time working together. He was an exceptional colleague and an even better friend. He was a kind and generous person who always had a smile on his face. I never realized how kind and generous until I read through the memory section of his obituary. He was definitely a very special person. I hope you find comfort in the happy memories you shared together and in the knowledge that he was loved and respected by so many.

My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Robert “Bob” White

My deepest condolences to Bruce's family and friends. He was truly a great guy who will be missed. He was a pleasure to work with at Lockheed Martin - competent and pleasant, and, well, fun. He was the same on the golf course, and tennis and racquetball courts. Godspeed Bruce.

To Bruce’s family, I worked with Bruce many years and what a nice man.   I am truly sorry for your loss.  He will be missed.

My sincere condolences and hugs to the family. 
Mr. Bruce, a dear family friend and mentor to my son Javion. He will be missed dearly.  He played a very important role in Javion's life as his "Big Brother" through the Big Brothers & Sisters program.  Mr. Bruce definitely enjoyed his role as a Big Brother and spending time with him.  My son was allowed to experience different things in life with Mr. Bruce and the Mitchell family. 
I will always be externally grateful for his mentorship and friendship and allowing Javion to become a part of the Mitchell family. 

This comes as a surprise. However, I know that we will have an Amgel watching over us in Heaven forever.  
Thank you Mr. Bruce and family for your kindness, support and love. 

Forever grateful and respectfully.
Monica Peterson

We’re sitting here watching the Penn State vs Notre Dame game and I can’t help but remember what a great sports fan Bruce was and Penn State was his team.  I played many a softball game with Bruce and he was a great player. But most of all Bruce was a good friend and we attended  plenty of concerts, sporting events, movies, together. 
Rest in peace my friend you are in God’s hands now, enjoy your reward and maybe they need a shortstop. Hope to see you again.

To The Family of Bruce Mitchell,

I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences and prayers to you all during this difficult time. Bruce was a dedicated, committed and jovial Big Brother, to his litte brother, Javion, for many years in the Rappahannock Big Brothers Big Sisters program.  I had the pleasure of serving as their case manager and looked forward to hearing about all the fun activities they shared together.

May the memories and legacy of your beloved Bruce be in your hearts and minds forever.

Kindly and Sorrowfully Submitted,

Regina Price

Sending love to my dearest Big Brother! I would not be the man I am today without the support, care, and guidance you gave me throughout our relationship.  We miss you and send love to others who are grieving. Words cannot express the impact you made on the world.

These two are the most sweetest and loving people I know and have ever had the pleasure of being a part of their lives. Bruce was taken way too soon. I love you all so much and I cannot believe he is gone. I am so thankful that you all adopted me 😊. I am going to miss our vacations, dinners, grilling out. And just hanging out at your house. I pray God wraps his loving arms of healing, love, and compassion around you all. Much love, Tracy

Bruce enjoyed his family and friends. He enjoyed playing golf with Eileen and volleyball. I remember when I used to watch Eileen and Bruce play. This picture was my favorite because I said this was Bruce’s “My Little Women” picture that he loved so much. Look at how happy he is.

Mr. Mitchell I have known you since you were my softball coach and I became friends with Natalie, and not to forget all the fun beach trips to Nagshead. My favorite memory is when you, Mary, and Natalie met my son William. May you rest in peace and I know the Belokon family will never forget you.

I will miss Bruce but know we will see each other again. My heart goes out to Mary and his girls. I know they will miss his laughter, love of life, sports and God. Bruce was a super special guy.  My prayers are with you.
