"Frank Joseph Heintz was born in Medora, Illinois, October 12, 1886, son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Heintz, and passed away at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, Tallahassee, Florida on December 12, 1955, a few hours after he was stricken at his desk in the office of the Attorney General. Immediate survivors are his widow, the former Alva Tupper of Jacksonville, Florida, a son, Frank J. Heintz of Cleveland, Ohio, a daughter, Mrs. John P. Stone, of Jacksonville, Florida, and five grandchildren.
"Mr. Heintz attended Quincy College, Quincy, Illinois, receiving from that institution his B.A. degree in 1907. He obtained his legal education at the University of Mississippi, and upon graduation from the institution was admitted to practice law in that state in 1911. He moved to Jacksonville, Florida, in 1914, where he was admitted to the bar in that year. From that time until his removal to Tallahassee, Florida, in 1944, he practiced law in Jacksonville, at one time as a member of the firm of Haley and Heintz.
"Mr. Heintz entered the army in World War I and received officer training at Fort Sill. At various other times during his military experience he was stationed at Camp Beauregard, in Louisiana, and Camp Jackson, in South Carolina. He was discharged subsequent to the Armistice in 1918 as a Captain of Artillary.
"In May, 1939, Mr. Heintz was appointed Referee in Bankruptcy by the late Judge Louie W. Strum. In the early part of 1944 he terminated the practice of law in Jacksonville and a period of his life characterized by his demonstrated ability as a lawyer and the personal affection of many people whose lives he touched. During that period he was a charter member of Timuquana Country Club, a member of the Seminole Club, Friars, and Florida Yacht Club.
"Mr. Heintz served as an Assistant Attorney General of Florida from April 1944 to December 12, 1955. He handled numerous important assignments, but perhaps he will be best remembered for his long service as legal representative, under the Attorney General, of the Board of Control [later the Board of Regents]. During that period he dealt with many problems and programs relating to higher education in a changing and expanding Florida; and he disposed of each task which confronted him, complex or otherwise, with understanding of subject matter and skill as a lawyer.
"Mr. Heintz was of the Roman Catholic faith. He was a lawyer's lawyer. Yet such was his studious and kindly disposition, his comprehension of traditions and contemporary legal, social and economic problems, that he dealt with issues with warmth and human understanding in the wholesome light of dictated Christian principles."
