It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Floyd Mizener, OD '48 (MCO), PhD, DOS. Dr. Mizener served as a Marine in WWII before earning his optometric degree from Monroe College of Optometry, now Illinois College of Optometry.

Known for wearing his colorful, hand-painted suit jackets, Dr. Mizener always made it a priority to attend annual optometric conferences and ICO events, happily sharing his practice expertise with students and recent graduates. He will be missed by all who knew him. We extend our deepest sympathies to all of his family and friends. ICO President, Mark Colip, OD '92, remembers him fondly. "Dr. Mizener was a mentor, friend, and neighbor, and he will be missed. Over the years, he told me countless stories of optometry’s evolution and the many proud impacts that he made to move the profession forward. He loved his profession, his country, his community, his family, and he loved his wife, Shirley. He was one of the toughest guys I knew. Rest in peace Dr. Mizener, you have earned it!” He will be missed by all who knew him.
