Mark, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. We're now living in Arizona and just happened to check the Herald. I remember Mitchell when he was born at Mercy Hospital while I worked there. Please know you and your family are in our thoughts. RIP Mitchell.

I served with Crom during our AIT training in 2011. Although Crom and I didn't spend a lot of time together he was always one to make everyone laugh. He was the class clown. When things got stressful or tense you would look over at him and he would make a funny face or comment that made you laugh. He will be missed.

In a little while, let's pull in at a roadside tavern and have that drink we never did.
