FOUNDER MIXSON’S SON PASSES TO CHAPTER ETERNAL
Marion “Hack” Mixson, Beta (Presbyterian), known for his kind heart and passion for helping others, passed to the Chapter Eternal on May 19, 2010. Born March 20, 1918 in Charleston, S.C., he was the son of Elizabeth McCarthy and Pi Kappa Phi Founder Lawrence Harry Mixson. Growing up, he enjoyed boating and sailing. Hack attended Presbyterian College in Clinton, S.C., where he was initiated into the Beta chapter of Pi Kappa Phi on May 27, 1937. He was commissioned as a 2nd Lt. Infantry in 1939. Hack served as a B24 Squadron Commander in Italy during World War II and later served in Vietnam. Hack was also involved in the operation of the Lockheed U-2 aircraft for nine years and commanded B47 and U-2 wings in Strategic Air Command. He received numerous decorations, including the Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit and the Distinguished Flying Cross. After retiring from the Air Force, Hack moved to Tampa where he worked as a real estate broker for 20 years. In the spirit of service to others, he delivered Meals on Wheels for 29 years. Hack was also an active member of the Kiwanis Club and St. John’s Episcopal Church. Hack was inducted into the Pi Kappa Phi Hall of Fame in 2000 for his exemplary military service and went on to serve on the fraternity’s Centennial Commission from 2002 to 2004. Mixson (back row, third from the left) is pictured as part of the Air Force’s 461st Bombardment Group during World War II.
