To all the Mitchell family,
Please accept my condolences, thoughts and prayers for your great loss.
Calvin Sr. was a very hard working, dedicated man in everything he did.
I remember him well from when we also worked at Floyd’s Glass Co. , Taylor together. There was nothing he couldn’t do, took a great talented man to be able to drive those big trucks safely and deliver heavy loads to the job sites near and far, but Calvin could do it.
He was also so dedicated to Z & R Cattle Co. in Thorndale to the Zuehlke’s for so many years & was certainly loved & appreciated by the entire family.
From all of us we thank you, Calvin for your hard work & dedication, we will all miss you, but not forgotten & may you rest in peace,
In Christian Love,
Helen Urbis
