braska as well. After his return from the Nav Mitchel
moved to Iowa, where he worked in farming as well as
taking on various odd jobs.
On January 25, 1990, Mitchel was involved in an au-
tomobile accident that resulted in his being wheelchair-
bound for the rest of his life. He spent about five years
either at home being cared for by his wife Ann or in
various care centers in Iowa. In 1995 Mitchel moved to
Harmony House in Waterloo, Iowa, where he was cared
for the next 20 years.
Mitchel was a sports fan his whole life. In high school
he particularly enjoyed wrestling, and later in life played
sl0w pitch softball for recreation. He enjoyed hunting
and fishing, and spent a lot of time working in his yard
and putting his green thumb to work in the garden. He
remained a die-hard Husker fan, and liked to watch
NASCAR on television.
On October 6, 2015 Mitchel was admitted to Allen
Memorial Hospital in Waterloo. He passed away there
on Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at the age 60 years, 4
months, and 8 days. His parents, brothers J es and
Richard, father-in-law Tony Hermes, and nephews
Christopher Hayes and James Furnas, Jr. preceded him
in death.
