In 1962 Mitch was the Easter Seal Child for Pennsylvania during the Governor Scranton administration.
Mitch worked at Armstrong World Industries flooring plant for 20 years. He enjoyed listening to live music at concerts, he was a football fan, and he was very savvy with computers. Mitch also enjoyed family vacations to Assateague Island.
Mitch dearly loved his family, his parents Jim and Francine of Lancaster, his wife Christine of Lancaster, his daughter, Krista Kauffman, fiancée of Rod Barlet of Elizabethtown, his son Dustin Krammes of Lancaster, and his four grandchildren, Jasmine, Dehvion, Aniysha, and Liam.
