Community will remember Mitch for his many contributions to 3D
Graphics and Virtual Reality.<br>
We last saw Mitch at SIGGRAPH 2018 in Vancouver. He told us
that he had been diagnosed with brain cancer but was
optimistic about his treatment and in good spirits and still
actively pursuing 3D graphics at Samsung. He fought a valiant
battle against this cancer for over 12 months. Rest In Peace
Mitch, we will forever remember you for your passion for 3D
Graphics.<br>
Funeral services will be held at Eden Memorial Park in Los
Angeles on 20 March, 2019 from 3:00 pm - 4:20 pm (details at
