Philip Charles Mix
1950-2022
It is with great sadness that the family of Philip Mix of
Riverview shares the news of his passing at his home on Tuesday,
October 18, 2022. Born in River Hebert East, NS, he was the son of
Reta Mix (nee Mansour) and the late Donald H. Mix.
Phil graduated with his Bachelor of Laws degree from UNB in
1974; and following his graduation, he became a partner in the law
firms of Mitton, Mitton, & Mix and Mix Cantini, both of
Moncton. He would later earn his Masters of Law from Dalhousie
University and practiced law in Nova Scotia for several years. Phil
excelled in sports in his youth and came to enjoy two sports through
the years – golf in the summer and curling in the winter. As
an accomplished golfer, he was a member of the Moncton Golf and
Country Club for many years and a former member of the Beaver Curling
Club. In his retirement years, Phil would spend hours absorbed in a
classic novel or historical book or watching the Chicago Black Hawks
and Toronto Blue Jays, surrounded by his five cats. Phil especially
enjoyed family gatherings and sharing his whit, humor and knowledge.
In his later years, Phil often expressed gratitude for his partner
Judy’s love and care. Phil was so very proud of his two
children, Adam and Amy, and his grandchildren were the «apple of
his eye.»
Besides his loving mother Reta Mix, he is survived by his
partner of 12 years, Judy Slade; son Adam Mix (Kathryn); daughter Amy
Mix (Colin Morrison); sisters, Lil Harris (late John) and Ruth Ross
(Patrick); grandchildren Jackson, Liam, Harper, Zoey and Scott;
step-daughter-in-law Ashleigh; step-grandchildren Rebecca, Nick,
Dylan, Zoe and Sloan; stepmom, Carole, and several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his father, Donald; brother in law, John; and
step-son, Preston.
To respect Phil’s wishes, there will be no funeral
or visitation. A private graveside service will take place in
Grey’s Island Cemetery. Arrangements are entrusted to
Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Rd.,
Riverview, NB (869-2007). Donations made to a charity of the
donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
