LYME — It is with great sadness that we have been informed of the death of Andy Baxter of Lyme. He was a member of the board of the Lyme Land Trust for 13 years, serving as both its treasurer and later, vice-president. He was also involved in and supported numerous other charitable causes.
The Lyme Land Trust has shared the following tribute to Mr. Baxter with us:
We regret to inform you that Andy Baxter passed away on February 21, 2022 after battling a long illness. He was a member of our Board for 13 years beginning in 2005 and served as our Treasurer and later Vice President. He could always be counted on to have his own original and valuable points of view. But whatever the decision, Andy was the consummate team player. Andy had a strong belief in the cause of land conservation and in the mission of the Land Trust.
He always supported the Trust very generously and recently gave us a major gift that goes a long way to ensure that the stewardship barn and offices we are planning, will be built in Hadlyme. Whatever the endeavor, Andy was always all in. Supporting many charitable causes with his time and his resources, he truly was a Man for All Seasons with a heart as big as the outdoors. He is going to leave a huge hole in the lives of so many of us whom he has touched.
