Very sad news from Vermont.
My dad passed away last night.
He lived a full life and good life, died peacefully, and was surrounded by his wife and seven of his kids at the end.
All things considered, a decent way for a bad thing to happen.
Although he didn’t seem very interested in politics and public policy as I was growing up, he was involved in the founding of the Conservative Party of New York.
So he must have given me some good genes. No wonder I don’t like RINOs.
And he definitely passed along being a Yankees fan. Some of my best memories include going to games at the old Yankee Stadium as a kid.
Many thanks to those who already have expressed condolences, as well as to those who will.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. May your honored Father rest in peace.
We are all improved by the presence of good men. RIP Robert Francis.
Mr. Mitchell,
My sincere condolences. I appreciate your father having lived the life he did.
Sorry about your Dad. I’m sure he must be proud of you. I’m headed for the last roundup, too — just a year younger than your Dad. I remain grateful to you for giving me my first public interviews on the economic impact of abortion on your two shows on NET back in 1996. It still amazes me that most economists and politicians still fail to see the economic impact of terminating the lives of 55 million future workers, producers, taxpayers, and parents of the next generation. It is still the greatest drag on the economy there is — representing a cumulative loss of an estimated $45 trillion in GDP. I’m proud to have been the first to raise the issue, and happy to know the one economist who immediately recognized it. I’m sure you got your wisdom from your Dad.
This is my first full year without my Dad.
I feel only half full…maybe even less.
The bond was and is, unbreakable.
Your father still lives in you.
Be thankful for it all.
God bless your heart during this time and for the future.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
I just read your bio being new to your site and enjoying and learning a lot.
Sad news, but I can tell you did rightly by him which is the best respect and love for a father.
Sincerest condolences to you & your family, Dan.
Best wishes, Keith Barridge, Perth

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ — Matthew 25:23
So very sorry to hear about your father, Dan. I will keep him, you, and all of your family in my prayers. May his soul rest in peace and eternal light shine upon him. I pray that being together and remembering times together will give you some consolation. I am sure he is proud of you and all you do. God bless and take care.
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. The passing of a parent is never an easy moment, but it sounds like your Dad lead a good life and left behind a good legacy.
