Mitchell was a very affectionate man, he loved coffee, taking rides in the van, sitting on the yard swing, rocking in the rocking chair, going to amusement parks and riding the roller coasters. He especially liked holding hands with his friends and the staff. His best friend was Bill, whom he met when he moved to Monongahela and Omar, who always gave Mitchell a kiss on the head. Everyone always enjoyed Mitchell’s belly laughs. He will truly be missed by the staff and all of his friends at Lifesteps.​ He is survived by two sisters, Mary Blazevich of Charleroi, Nancy Hutchinson of West Middletown; and brother, Peter Savich of Washington.​ Friends will be received from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, March 21, 2019, at FRYE FUNERAL HOME INC., 427 W.
