HOSCHTON - Frank L. Mize, Sr.

(March 24, 1928 - November 3, 2012)

We are celebrating the life of a loving husband, dedicated father, brother and devoted son. On the morning of November 3, 2012, Frank L. Mize, Sr. passed quietly into the loving arms of his savior Jesus Christ. Originally born in West Point, he retired from Interstate and Valley Telephone Company. He raised his family in Lanett, Ala., where he was an active member of Spring Road Christian Church.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 57 years, Jacqueline Q. Mize; daughter, Ruth; sons, Hannis and Frank; daughter-in-law, Debbie.

He was a grandfather and great-grandfather, and he will be missed by anyone who was fortunate enough to call him friend, ever needed his assistance, or ever spent any time at all in his presence.

Generous, humorous and full of good cheer and encouragement, the world is richer having hosted his lighthearted spirit. He found a bit of humor in most any situation, but always maintained a serious and exemplary love for his God, his family and his friends. We'll miss you Daddy.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, November 29, at 2 p.m. at the graveside in Marseilles Cemetery in West Point, Ga.

Flowers are optional and can be sent to the McCarthy Funeral Home in West Point, Ga. or the memorials may be made to the Driving Magic, Inc., P.O. Box 279, Duluth, GA 30096, or online at drivingmagicinc.org.

Evans Funeral Home, Jefferson, is in charge of arrangements.
