  Robert A. "Mitch" Mitchell, age 71, of Appleton, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at Mercy Medical Hospital with his loving wife by his side.

He graduated from Fox Valley Lutheran High School in 1962 and then enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he served his country for four years, spending 14 months in Vietnam. Bob spent his childhood summers with his sister at Camp Wild Rose where he learned how to ride horseback. He worked for the City of Appleton for many years and became a member of the Appleton Police Department where he retired in 1999 after 31 years of service. Bob loved photography. For many years he was a wedding photographer, but he often traveled long distances to photograph many of nature's beauties. One of his passions was riding his motorcycle. He and his wife Carol were members of the Goldwing Road Riders Association, local Chapter Five. Bob was also a state coordinator for AARP defensive driving. Bob is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Carol; his sister Judy (Homer) Bishop; his brothers-in-law: Francis (Bonnie) Krupka, Norbert (Mary Ann) Krupka, James (Kay) Krupka, Jerome (Peg) Krupka, and John (Bonnie) Krupka; sisters-in-law: Virginia (Larry) Miller, Marie (David) Draper, Jean Krupka, and Barbara Krupka; and many other nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
