Joseph Rinaldi wrote a sympathy message

“My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to the Mitchell family. I am so sorry for your loss. So many memories living on Ellsworth St., playing softball and hanging out. Always had a smile on his face and would make you laugh. I'm pretty sure Buggy coined the phrase "Come on guy" which we all use to this day. Zero enemies and everybody gravitated towards Buggy. You were an absolute legend my brother. Rest in peace. Joe Rinaldi”

“On behalf of the entire San Mateo community, Our deepest condolences to the entire Mitchell family. Buggy, you were a huge personality and when you walked into a room (yes your 6'6) everyone noticed you and wanted to hang with you. Most of my memories with the big southpaw were playing golf up in Truckee and Half Moon Bay, Spring training games, Giants/49ers games, telling stories, and enjoying life to the fullest! You will be missed by all your friends and family. LOVE YOU BUGGY!! Glenn Sennett”

“My heart and prayers go out to the entire Mitchell family. It’s with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to Buggy, a true free spirit who brought joy to every moment and encounter I had with him. He had a gift for making me laugh and lifting me up, no matter the day. Playing golf with him this summer was an unforgettable experience—every hole, every conversation was memorable. I’ll forever cherish the positivity and light he shared with everyone he met. RIP Buggy, The Khourys”

“Although it has been many years since I have seen Buggy, I feel compelled to share a moment in time we shared together. Growing up playing baseball with Bugs was truly a special part of my life. We spend an entire summer in "77 playing together on the San Mateo Babe Ruth All Star team together and I could not help but share a picture of him celebrating one of our wins. His expression of joy will always remind me how lucky I was to have him in my life. My deepest condolences. Hogie”

“I am so sorry to hear about my good buddy Dave. He was an opponent, teammate, business associate and friend whose presence was larger than life. I wish his family nothing but peace and comfort at this time. I met Bug on the Hillsdale football field in 1977 when he played for the Belmont Packers and I for the Hillsdale Knights. Went to SDSU together, played basketball in Millbrae for Village Host and then worked for him up until this year. He will be missed big time.”
