Franklin Belle Hiltzheimer Jr., 69, of Tyrone passed away Monday, June 1, 2015 at Piedmont Fayette Hospital after his brief, yet courageous, battle with cancer.
A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday, June 3rd, 2015, at Faith Lutheran Church in Sharpsburg, Ga. with Pastor John Schroeder officiating.
He was happily retired. He enjoyed playing golf, watching nature and wildlife, spending time with family and friends (being Papa). He was always the life of the party! He loved taking pictures to capture memories, was an internet shopping connoisseur (always providing the perfect gift). He enjoyed crafting the perfect coconut cream pie, tinkering with everything under the sky, and was the ultimate Christmas guy!
He is survived by his wife, Louette Marshman Hiltzheimer; son, Franklin Bell “Tre” (Terri) Hiltzheimer III of Cumming, Ga.; son, Robert Tryon (Kari Lee) Hiltzheimer of Peachtree City and Jeremy Ian (Mary) Hiltzheimer of Atlanta, Ga. He adored his beloved grandchildren, Drew, Jamie, Jacob, and Chloe. Also survived by brother, Robert (Donna) Hiltzheimer of Little River, S. C.
The family will receive friends after the service in the Gathering Place at Faith Lutheran Church.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org.
