Till this day, I still think about Mr. Nyberg....I had a great relationship with him..... I was very young when I started working at the cass hotel... Jamal offered me the job ....I am 53 years old now and I am still using the wisdom and knowledge he gave me... I use to say to Mr. Nyberg, I gave you the best years of my life, lolololol because I was very young.... What I got from working at the cass hotel with Mr. Nyberg, money can't buy... I remember stopping buy the hotel to say hello and Mr. Was out to lunch, so i didn't get to visit with him that day. Later, Rosie Winton told me that Mr. Nyberg said he really wanted to see me that day....I will always remember you Mitchell Nyberg!!!!!

Dear Mitch,

It has been a year, and I still think about you every day. I share a story with every reminder of you, and still mention the little things you do. I still remember your words of advice, and try to carry it onto others. I can still hear your funny laugh, and the jokes you've told. I would give anything to talk to you again. Still, I can not say goodbye.

Miss you, Mitch. Cass will never be the same.

Love,

Bye Mitch,

I just learned it today. And I'm so sad. Over the year I really enjoyed working and enjoying life with Mitch. The last time I saw him it was during his last summer trip in Quebec, Canada. With Alec and Ryan we had a really great time at my summer house and he was so happy and full of life. And also so proud of Alec and Ryan.

Dear Alec and Ryan, I wish you all the best: you have a wonderful dad. And come to Quebec whenever you want: we will go the lake all together!

As you saw Alec and Ryan, my English doesn’t improve so much: the limited number of words I know in English are not enough to express all I would like to say!

Love,

Alain Lafleche

The moment I met Mitch, I knew he was a very special man! I was lucky to meet Mitch after Charlotte and Marla finally wore him down to try yoga as a tool for healing. As his yoga teacher, I never saw anyone try as hard as Mitch did to keep a positive and sunny outlook on life, in spite of all the aches and pains and troubles in his life. As his friend, I am still in awe of his extraordinary ability to rise above his illness and keep laughing like he didn't have a care in the world! Mitch was MY teacher--I learned so much from him about family, life, and love!

He loved his family and friends so much and was always concerned for their happiness. I'm sure his little kitty, TT, misses her Daddy and all his affection--I so enjoyed Mitch's softie side!

I think of Mitch every day, and I am always reaching for the phone to call up and check in with him! I imagine him looking down on all of us, cell phone in hand, trying to call and check in on all of US that miss him!

Marla, Charlotte, Ryan, Alec, and TT, I am so sorry for your loss. Mitch will be in our hearts forever! Please let me know if I can help you in any way, and thank you for providing a glimpse into such a wonderful family!



Love,

Angela

I've only met Mitch Nyberg one time through my Aunt Marissa. During the time my Aunt has spent at the hotel I've noticed she has become close to Mitch. He has done so much for her. And if I could say anything to him right now it would be thank you. He has put an impact on her life as well as the mine. The day that I had met him, we went to Chinatown. Of course it was his first time. Sharing that special day with him means alot with me because I knew that he enjoyed it. His sense of humor was like no other that I have come across. Especially when he was laughing about all the tapioca he had in his drink. Though, I'm glad he loved it anyway. In that short time that we spent together, he gave me financial,personal,emotional advice that I would need in the future. That I will never forget. Each time that I would come to the hotel, I would always miss seeing him. I'm sad that I didn't spend more time with him. He was truly an inspirational person. It was always an enjoyment to my family when he would try all the great food we cooked. And it always put a smile on my Aunt's face as well as my grandmother's.



To Ryan & Alec- I wish we could have could have all hung out. I'm glad that I've now met you. You both live through your father and I would like you to know that I will be here for you in any way that I can be. Ryan- You know that you could call me if you needed to just talk.

Mitch always knew how to have fun. Your laugh is unforgettable :)

Ryan and Alec, Marla, Charlotte and Howard, and Mitch’s friends and family, my deepest condolences on this sudden loss of your father, brother, son, friend. I can’t even imagine how difficult this time must be for all of you, my having loved him for so short a time compared to the years of your lives together. Meeting you and hearing stories about his life, it is wonderful to hear how full his life was and how many people were close to him and loved him.



I keep trying to remember that the depth of the pain and sadness is really a reflection of the depth of the love, but it is still very hard to bear.



Mitch had extraordinary courage, to recover from so much pain and emerge with a spirit of thankfulness to greet every day - to come to peace with his life, to continue to live with optimism and fun, and love, and to try so hard not to let the difficulties of his recovery take any more life from him. He had such a generous spirit. I am so grateful for the time we had together.

I only knew Mitch through my cousin, Marissa. The one time I met him he was very nice and was one of those people that you felt comfortable talking with. I've never heard so many people rave about their boss, so I guess that says a lot about what kind of person he was. He was always kind to me and my family whenever we stayed at the hotel.

We never did get to grab that drink, Mitch... So a toast to you...may you continue to keep watch over all those lives that you touched.

Someone as true and pure as Mitch never leaves you. He was a wonderful soul that graced my presence only once but he will be remembered always. Please know you have my deepest condolences.

I have been in a lot of pain since Mitch's passing. He was such a dear, close friend he was like a brother to me. He was the consummate friend, the ultimate friend, never putting himself first, always putting others above himself. Even when he first got the bad news about his health he was more concerned about how it would impact others (especially the boys) than about himself. He was loyal and devoted, always willing to do whatever he could to help you and seldom asked for anything in return. He was totally a giver.



I consider it an honor and a privilege to have been such a close friend of Mitch's. I have known him since I was 8 or 9 when we became friends at Camp Menominee. He is warm, kind, funny, compassionate, smart as hell and just plain fun to be around.



I will miss him so much, more than words can say. For as long as I live, I will think about Mitch every single day.

Mitchell Nyberg is the best boss/friend I have ever had. I feel lucky to have met him and know him. He was a great teacher, supporter, counselor, and leader. His funny personality and good heart is irreplaceable. Thank you, Mitch, for everything you have taught me professionally and personally. You've helped me grow into a better person.

To Ryan and Alec- you're like my little brothers. Please call or text me anytime. To Marla, Kathy, Mr. and Mrs. Fink- I am here to help you any way I can. I send my deepest condolences to all of you.

I did not have many pictures of Mitch, but here is one of him in the conference room at the hotel. He saw his reflection on the T.V. from the camera, and began waving at himself. Miss you, Mitch!

Dear Ryan,Alec,Marla, Charlotte and Howard, How sad I was to hear about the loss of Micth. He was such a good friend to my son Steven Herzberg and I know that everyone that knew him will miss his wonderful smile and sence of humor.

To the family and friends of Mitch,

At a time like this, words fall short. Although our relationship with Mitch was professional, over the years he became more than a client, he was a friend.

His upbeat personality, his humor and tenacity in times of his own personal struggle is a lesson to us all. Mitch will be sorely missed but he leaves behind a proud and heroic legacy.

May you always remember the good times,

Mitchell was my friend my mentor and someone who helped me threw the hard times even when he was battling problems of his own.

He was a genuine humanitarian who always stepped up to the plate when someone around him needed help.

Words cannot describe the pain I feel but I can take comfort knowing that his pain is now over and he has entered better place.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mitchell and his family in this tragic time.

Ryan and Alec,

Your father was a very special man. I've known him since I was your age. He was my older brother Steve Herzberg's best friend and I am honored to call him a friend of mine. Mitch has always been genuine. He was funny, inciteful, and generous to everyone. I last saw Mitch and the Little Feat concert at Cubby Bear North. He was so happy and having a great time. I hadn't seen him that happy in a long time.

Boys, know that you both are what matters most to your dad. He always spoke of you both with such joy and pride. He wants you to be strong and never forget his love for you. You are the loves of his life. He will be watching out for you.

He will be missed by us and all ot those that know him. He will forever be in our hearts.

Love always,

Beth and Mario Irizarry
