HIGH SPRINGS, Fla. (WCJB) - Police Officers are trying to a find a man missing from High Springs.
According to officers, the family of 73-year-old Robert Mix have not seen him since Feb 5 and are concerned for his safety.
Mix was last seen at the High Springs Country Inn on US HWY 441.
Since then, there has been financial activity on his account in Atlanta.
Bob Mix was able to sing on pitch from an early age.
“When he was in kindergarten, the teacher recognized right away what a ham Bob was,” said Lois Mix, noting that as a result, he got to play the lead role of Peter Rabbit in a production.
“I was cotton-tailed,” Bob added.
He sang through middle school and high school in Austin, Minnesota, where he always felt his goal in life was to be a choir director.
Mix is the founder of Duluth East A’Cappella, and he served as their choir director from 1959-1987. He received the F. Melius Christiansen Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Choral Directors Association; he is a Luther College hall of famer; and an annual student award and scholarship at East is bestowed in his name.
