In 1938 Lyn's son, Fred, joined him in the store and they worked together until Lyn's passing in 1941.Although Fred was only 17, he took over the business with the help of his mother. Fred also trained as a watchmaker and jeweller.

Fred's son Craig joined him in the store in 1974. Craig trained as a goldsmith and is a Graduate Jeweller from the Canadian Jewellers Association. In 2007, Craig's son, Charlie, joined him at Mitton's. Charlie has trained as a goldsmith and Is a GIA Graduate Gemologist.
