Mitch was an incredibly wise and proud man, who did everything for the benefit of his family. He was strong, passionate, and driven, with the sole goal of bringing happiness into the lives of the ones he loved - his family, friends, colleagues – and especially my little sister, Hannah.

Dad unfortunately had a life-long battle with Crohn's disease - a battle that I am all too familiar with myself. He never gave up - he fought this disease with every essence of his being, and so I started this fund in dads memory, so that he can help others fight this disease too.

In times like these we cherish our fondest memories as a way of keeping the essence of our loved ones alive in our hearts. I will never forget the endless hours my father and I spent getting lost in never-ending conversation and thought, from family, to business, to love, and life, to planet Mars, and cars, and the delights and wonders of the Universe and the nature of existence... There are no words to describe how incredibly grateful I am for the time we spent together. Memories to hold dear forever. My father brought me into this world – I exist because of him – and for that I am eternally grateful.

I hope this JustGiving page can help fund vital research into Crohn's disease, so that we can find better treatment options, and more importantly - a cure!

Thank you!

Oren (Michal, Gerri, and Hannah).
