He worked as an art teacher for the Brick Township Board of
Education until retiring in 2002 after 33 years of service. He was a lifeguard in Ocean Grove for 34 years, a profession he considered his purpose in life. Teaching was a hobby he pursued in order to spend his summers at a place he called "The Best Office in the World."

He was the past president and an exempt member of the EH Stokes Fire Company and a past captain of the Ocean Grove First Aid Squad. Also, he was active in the Ocean Grove Citizens Patrol, and a member of both the US Lifesaving Association and ANSWER, the Area Network Shore Water Emergency Response. During the last few years he enjoyed a God-given talent as a guitarist with "Cannonball Red" and "The Front Porch Philharmonic Praise Band."
Born in Philadelphia, PA, he lived in Ocean Grove for 36 years.
Surviving are his wife, Roberta Reaser Mitchell, three sons,
Matthew D. Mitchell and his wife Rachel of Ocean Grove, Lt. Mark R. Mitchell and his wife Alison, currently serving in the US Navy in Silverdale, Washington and Luke J. Mitchell of Ocean Grove, and a brother, Louis W. Mitchell, Jr., of Jackson.
