    If, then, I were asked for the most important advice I could give,
    that which I considered to be the most useful to the men of our century,
    I should simply say:
    in the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.
      Leo Tolstoy


      Anthony Duane Mitts,
      age 75, passed away peacefully at home on August 14, 2018.
      He was born on September 26, 1942 in Claremore, Oklahoma to Ellery and Luella Mitts.
      He moved to California in his youth, where he worked hard on farmland in the
      Central Valley- picking peaches, collecting almonds, shucking walnuts, rolling
      watermelon, harvesting apricots, husking corn, and more.
      Then he served his country in the United States Navy from 1960-1964, allowing
      him to travel and see the world. At eighteen years of age he married his
      sweetheart, Alice Fay (Lawrence) Mitts and together they raised three sons.
      Anthony enjoyed listening to country western music, betting on the horse races,
      eating chocolate, and joking around with friends and strangers alike.
      His great joy in life was family. He will be known for his funny sayings
      and passing on the wisdom he gained throughout his long life.
      Anthony will be forever remembered by his sons, along with his five granddaughters,
      one grandson, and two great-granddaughters.
      A funeral will be held on August 28, 2018 at 10:00am at the Northern Nevada
      Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Fernley.
      The Mitts Family would like to extend our gratitude to all the staff at
      St. Mary’s Hospice for their loving care and heroic efforts over the last
      two years.
