EXPRESSING THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO THE FAMILY OF DR. H. COOPER BLACK, JR., DISTINGUISHED SURGEON AND PROFESSOR, UPON HIS DEATH DURING THE LEGISLATIVE INTERIM.
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dr. H. Cooper Black, Jr., during the legislative interim at the age of fifty-four; and
Whereas, Dr. Black was born in Orangeburg County, was a graduate of Wofford College, and received his medical degree from the Medical University of South Carolina; and
Whereas, he was a highly respected and admired surgeon throughout Lexington and Richland counties, and in addition was an outstanding teacher of young medical students as assistant clinical professor of surgery at the University of South Carolina Medical School; and
Whereas, Dr. Black served patients and his profession in many capacities including service as chief of staff and member of the board of trustees of the Lexington Medical Center, a member of the board of trustees of Lowman Home, a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, an affiliate of the Royal Society of Medicine of London, and a diplomat of the American Board of Surgery; and
Whereas, in addition to his demanding duties as a physician, he had a great love for the outdoors as evidenced by his membership in the Sandlapper Field Trial Club and as chairman of the South Carolina Sporting Dog Commission; and
Whereas, with the death of this truly fine man at the age of fifty-four, the people of Lexington and Richland counties and the State of South Carolina have lost a dedicated and capable surgeon, a gifted teacher, and a good friend; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, would like to extend their sincere condolences to his wife, children, father, stepmother, and other members of his family upon his untimely death. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
