A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO COMMEND MAYOR FRANK MIZELL OF WINDSOR FOR HIS MANY YEARS OF DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVICE, TO CONGRATULATE HIM UPON HIS RETIREMENT AS MAYOR OF WINDSOR, AND TO WISH HIM MUCH SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the House of Representatives notes with appreciation the career of Mayor Frank Mizell of Windsor, who will retire in November 2014 after thirty-four successful years at the helm of his town's government; and

Whereas, born in Summerville to Frank and Lola Mizell, Frank Mizell, Jr., was the only brother of his three sisters, who have given him several delightful nieces and nephews; and

Whereas, in preparation for his life's work, Frank Mizell studied two years at the University of South Carolina Aiken and completed his bachelor's degree in business administration at USC's Columbia campus; and

Whereas, the young Frank gained valuable work experience as a boy, taking on jobs that ranged from delivering the Augusta Chronicle in Windsor (he was the very first such delivery boy) to bagging groceries at a local grocery store to help pay for his future college education; and

Whereas, having completed his university degree, Frank Mizell became a member of the South Carolina Bankers Association in 1975. He has been in banking for forty-three years and since 1996 has served with Williston's First Citizens Bank, where he will continue working after his retirement as mayor. Away from the office, he serves as president of the Williston Lions Club and is a member of the Masonic Lodge in Williston; and

Whereas, as a man of faith, Frank Mizell attends the First Baptist Church of Windsor, where he formerly directed the choir. He enjoys spending time at his home, formerly his parents', in Windsor and also takes pleasure in hunting deer, quail, and doves; and

Whereas, when he ran for mayor, Frank Mizell's platform declared simply that he wanted to "help Windsor and make Windsor a better place." Accordingly, as he leaves office, offering full support to his successor, he hopes to be remembered as a "country boy who has been blessed, who cared about his hometown and did something to make it better"; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives is grateful for the visionary leadership of Mayor Frank Mizell, and the members take much pleasure in joining with the citizens of Windsor in extending to him best wishes as he begins a well-deserved retirement. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend Mayor Frank Mizell of Windsor for his many years of dedicated public service, congratulate him upon his retirement as mayor of Windsor, and wish him much success and fulfillment in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Mayor Frank Mizell.
