I am saddened to hear of the passing of our dear classmate, Peter Mitchell. So glad to hear that he left this earth quickly and without pain - only lots of love and care from family and friends. I remember Pete as a scholar, with a great sense of humor and compassion. I know he will be missed. May he Rest In Peace.❤️

I'm so very sorry to hear of the passing of my friend and classmate Peter Mitchell. Pete was one of the "good guys" I feel lucky to have known him and shared some good memories of our high school days together. R.I.P. my friend.

Such a shock to learn about Peter's passing. Peter was such a kind soul, a true gentleman. His daughter's message on the MC site described his passing with such compassion. He will truly be missed

On April 5th we received a sad phone call from dear friends Lindsey and Malcolm McLorg. They told us that Peter had passed away in the early morning. We had been following his progress after surgery and keeping positive and prayerful thoughts.

All encounters and thoughts of Peter were always happy and joyful. This is heartbreaking. Peter and I go back to the 4th grade at St. Anselms School and have been friends for 70 years. 

We saw Peter and his wife Veronica at a Holiday lunch in December and, as always, laughter and rememberances ensued. At one point he leaned over to me and said, "Do you realize we have known each other forever.?  Remember bike riding between our houses after school?"

I remember so many things. Talking in class and getting detention....a lot ! We didn't care. We talked in detention and got in more trouble! Always happy memories, always laughter and always a wonderful friend.

Peter was a terrific person. Peter was kind, generous, happy and smart!  Peter was a contented person who

kept family, friends and his faith close. 

When he retired I asked how he was enjoying being retired. "I love it", he said. "But I am a very easily entertained!" Being easily entertained Is a true sign of contentment. He adored his life with Veronica and his two girls and his grandchildren.  I know this because he told me often.

I told this in an email to the "gang" after our sad exchanges and I think it worth repeating. After hearing the news my thoughts went to Dorothys words at the end of The Wizard of OZ. Dorothy said to the Scarecrow, " I think that I will miss you most of all."

To all my classmates,

I woke up this morning and checked my emails and saw that Pete Mitchell passed away. This was a real shock to me. During my years at Marin Catholic I always sat next or behind Pete as our last names both began with M. Pete was a great student and friend. I always had admiration for him. He was brilliant and full of life. We will never forget him. The last time I saw and talked to him was at the 2010 reunion in Greenbrae as he was just as sharp as ever as was everyone else there. That was also the last time I will ever see Roger Wishard, Betsy and Glenn Cheetham again. How sad! 

All the best to my classmates and to the family of Pete.

My prayers and deepest sympathy are with Pete's family. Our lives are much more fragile and fleeting than we realize.

To the family of Pete Mitchell:   Loss is not easy.  Why should it be?  Someone you love with your heart and soul has passed into another dimension.  Your eyes may not physically see him, but your hearts will always feel his presence.  That is the gift. That he passed quietly is so beautiful. 

I will miss his sweet face always looking like he had a joke to tell and was already laughing about it.  

We were blessed to have such an incredibly close Class of 1960.  We miss all those who have gone before us.  In wondering about life........it truly is "just for today."

My love and prayers go out to all of Peter's family.

I am so sorry to hear about Pete Mitchell, I sat next to him in most of the Marin Catholic classes and he was like a straight A student. I really admired him. When I last saw him at a Reunion, in 2010, he still looked almost like he did in highschool, very young looking. We will all miss him!
