Will miss our dear friend and awesome neighbour but we have many, many sweet memories of the time we had together. Baxter offered a new way of thinking about something when things became complicated and you came through smiling as he did. We always got a laugh when Baxter would say, “Now Gordon, am I right or am I wrong?”
Our greatest sympathy to Melinda and family.

Baxter was amazing, and it was only a couple days ago that I mentioned to Cathy, "I need to call Baxter", as we just got back from Alberta a couple months ago. She's heard me talk about Bax alot and about the generosity he showed us young musicians.
We were young and looking for a place to practice and write some music so I reached out to Bax to see if he knew of or had anything. He showed me a couple spots and said "the place you need is this place, the old Brook Street Credit Union".
We agreed to use it and he wouldn't give a price, just said we'll see what the electric bill is next month".
Well, next month came and I called him up right away and asked him how much that electric bill is so we can start paying (we didn't want it to build up and had no idea what he would charge us).
He asked right away, "are you guys making music in there?"
"Yes, we are writing and recording everyday, it's an awesome space. But what is this costing us?"
"As long as you guys are making music, I don't want anything. You enjoy it and look after it for me".
Baxter was not selfish. He was a very generous man. He cared about people and how they were doing.
Such a great man, and after just learning of his passing just today, I feel so saddened that I did not reach out to him sooner.
Rest in Peace Baxter. You are gone to a better place.
God Bless the family and friends that you leave behind.

I am truly honoured to have known Bax, to have gotten to spend time with him a couple weeks ago, and a chance to have a nice chat with him.
He has always been a big part of my life and very kind to me, He also helped me and everyone he knew.
He never complained or thought about himself and always had a smile that lit up a room, a funny sense of humor and always joking around.
My heart is completely broken and I will forever cherish my memories of him.
The world has lost another good man.
Love you all, Sharon xo

To Melinda, Ervin, Kathy, Diana, Tara and all the Mitchelmore family. I was so very sad to hear of Bax’s passing. I haven’t seen him in a number of years but it was always a pleasure to be in his company. He was a kind and generous man who always had a smile, a joke or advice to give. I know he was very proud of his family and no doubt, you all are so very proud that he was yours. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers as you mourn this incredible loss. Rest in peace Bax.

Aunt Melinda thinking about you and your family during this difficult time. Sending hugs.
Uncle Baxter was a very kind, happy & giving soul!
He always had hug smile and offered hugs when I would see him on my visits back to Corner Brook. His hearty laugh was so welcoming!
I remember as a kid he would make ice cream for all my cousins when visiting at Nan Mitchelmore’s house. Of course he made us work for the ice cream treat by turning the handle of the bucket…it was so hard to turn that handle…but then he would step in and offer to turn it for us! We were so happy!! I will really miss you Uncle Bax! ❤️
Your niece, Zina Piercey

To Aunt Melinda and Family
Where do I begin as I reflect on how our lives were so intertwined throughout my childhood and up to my university years. First and foremost, I am so sad on the passing of my Uncle Bax. Although I have many Aunts and Uncles, he was by far the closest one to me. He always came across as a very loving Husband, Father and more recently as a loving Grandfather. I always shook my head in somewhat …not disbelief, that’s not the right word, but at how devoted he was to taking care of his family in the last 30 or so years. He was truly an amazing man, and I always looked up to him.
He probably never realized it, but he was also indirectly a mentor to me throughout my teenage years as I started working. I saw how both my Dad and Uncle were always working and trying to get ahead. I always felt this instilled my hard work ethic and then Uncle Bax had an uncanny ability to always find a great business opportunity.
Over the last 10 years, I have thoroughly enjoyed playing golf with him anytime I went back to Newfoundland with my Dad and Nathan. We had many a laugh and Nathan and I cherished the time we had together on the course.
There is so much more to be said, but Uncle Bax, may you rest in peace for all the good you have done in the world through my eyes. The world will not be the same without you and you will be greatly missed by so many.
I wish I could be there with the family during this difficult time but I had a hockey injury this week that prevented me from travelling. I hope to see you all soon.
Love Marty, Jeanne, Nathan, and Andie

To: Melinda and Family. We were extremely saddened to hear of Bax's passing. We became great friends during our years in Corner Brook in the 70's and 80's. We shared many wonderful times; meals and social gatherings with a group of friends where a lemon filled angel food cake mysteriously disappeared one evening, card games, camping, home made ice cream that refuse to freeze ( i wonder why ) and shared visits after we left Corner Brook, fortunately the most recent being in Nov. 2022 in Musgravetown which will always be special to us. We have so many fond memories that are impossible to list. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. RIP Bax. Max and Hazel Saint. Musgravetown NL.

Diana and all the Mitchelmore Family, I was so saddened to hear of your dads passing. He was a distinguished businessman and involved in construction ever since I can remember. I thoroughly enjoyed every conversation we shared. He often offered a fresh perspective to sometimes complicated issues. During every conversation, he always mentioned his family. He certainly wore his love for you guys on his sleeve. He wanted each of his family to have the greatest successes in life!
Please accept my most sincere condolences for your tremendous loss!
With Sympathy

As my new brother-in -law in the late sixties, little did I know at that time what a life we would share together! Beginning with a working partnership building homes here in Corner Brook, when high interest rates moved us out of that into heavier construction with machinery, snow clearing, water and sewer systems,
land development both in Corner Brook and Massey Driven curb and gutters. With his business acumen ship we were always headed in the right direction! After many years in business with it's ups and downs we separated in early nineties. Baxter became my best friend and confident we shared many good times together, particularly playing golf every summer for many years! I want to share the last game we played in late September of 2022. We could do no wrong hitting and chipping balls better than we ever did. we were scoring so good Baxter turn to me and said hope this isn't our last golf game together! (Sob, Sob!). If they play golf in heaven, Baxter will be there playing waiting for me to show up. What a sharing of life I had with Baxter! Looking back now I wouldn't have change anything and I said it to him before the disease consumed him. NO REGRETS Baxter!

I first met Bax & Melin at a party at Sylvia Reid's home on Gibbons Avenue in the early 70's. I remember from our first meeting that Bax had this big beautiful smile and his eyes shone with happiness. Throughout the years whenever I met Bax he still carried that big smile. Bax loved Melin and his family so very much and will always be remembered for his hard work in providing for them. Rest In Peace in your final resting placedear friend.
