Robert Mitchell, of Sandy Hook, passed peacefully Wednesday, October 6, after a short but complicated illness, surrounded by his loving family.
The owner of Mitchell Architectural Group in Southbury, Robert loved his work, breakfasts at the Sandy Hook Diner, gardening, and above all, his family. He will be desperately missed by all who knew him.
Robert is survived by his wife, Cindy, of Sandy Hook; his son and daughter-in-law, Jeremy and KellyAnne Mitchell of Woodbridge; and his daughter and son-in-law, Samantha Mitchell and Michael Palmeri, of Chicago.
A celebration of life will be held in spring 2022.
Honan Funeral Home, 58 Main Street, Newtown is serving the family.
Bob was one of a kind. He was a caring and selfish man who loved his community. Bob exemplified true kindness and my hope is that those who knew him continue to spread the kind of love, compassion and heart that he did every day. Our whole family will miss him very much.
I first met the Mitchells when Cindy joined Greater Danbury Mothers of Multiples Support Group a year or two after I did. Fast forward, I helped with Discovery Science Workshops. A Saturday morning with K-5 students offering STEAM lessons. Bob presented a concentrated morning of architectural concepts. He wrangled 20 pre-adolescents for 2 hours, and, they loved it! He will be missed.
Let’s not forget his work on town building committees! He had to wrangle my father-in-law often.
