Mitchell Howard Glass, of Upper Burrell Township, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, June 14, 2025.  Born February 23, 1951, in Mineola, New York, he was the beloved son of the late Yvette (Silverman) and Irving “Jack” Glass.  He is preceded in death by his brother, Stuart Glass, and his grandson Noah Sassani.  

Mitchell graduated from Forest Hills High School in 1969.  He attended Mansfield University of PA where he met the love of his life, Eleanor “Ellie”.  They married in 1972 and lived for several years in New York City where he worked as a photographer.  After having children, he and Ellie moved to Upper Burrell Township where they raised their family. Mitchell went on to earn his Associate’s degree in Medical Assisting from Western School of Health and Business, and his Bachelor's degree in Business from Point Park College in Pittsburgh.  He worked as a medical assistant, and also an instructor of medical assisting, phlebotomy and business at different technical schools in Pittsburgh.  

Mitchell enjoyed photography, golfing, camping, pen making, and spending time with his family.  He will be remembered for his sense of humor, mischief making, love of animals (especially dogs) and his great love and pride for his family.

Mitchell is survived by his wife, Eleanor (Bucha) Glass, children Rachel (Luke) Sassani and Michael Glass, and grandchildren Jack and Lily Sassani.  

Private arrangements were entrusted to ROSS G. WALKER of New Kensington.  A private celebration of life is planned.  In lieu of flowers, donations to Animal Protectors of Allegheny Valley would be dearly appreciated by Mitchell’s family.
