A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE AND HONOR RONALD M. (RON) JOYE, OF LEXINGTON COUNTY, FOR HIS OUTSTANDING THIRTY-THREE YEAR CAREER IN STATE GOVERNMENT AND FOR HIS DISTINGUISHED SERVICE WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION UPON HIS RETIREMENT.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly have learned with regret that one of South Carolina's most delightful and capable public servants, Ron Joye, has retired from state government after an outstanding thirty-three year career; and

Whereas, Ronald Milton Joye was born in Hemingway on August 17, 1950, and after graduating from Hemingway High School, attended Palmer Junior College and received a bachelor's degree from The University of South Carolina; and

Whereas, he has retired from the South Carolina Department of Transportation after thirty-three years of distinguished service, the last eighteen of which were spent as Special Assistant to the Executive Director of the Department; and

Whereas, for many years Ron was known as the voice of the Highway Department in the halls of the State House and his knowledge, warmth, and friendly demeanor endeared him to all those with whom he came into contact; and

Whereas, he was awarded the Order of the Palmetto by Governor David Beasley and continues to be active in his church and in his community, gaining a county-wide reputation in Lexington County for his service as the emcee of the Friday Night Street Dance of the Irmo Okra Strut while dressed in a tuxedo jacket and bermuda shorts; and

Whereas, he and his lovely wife Deborah are the proud parents of two delightful daughters, Erika Weed Joye and Emily Anne Joye; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, would like to publicly recognize and thank Ron Joye for his many contributions to the people of South Carolina and the growth and development of our State upon the occasion of his retirement from state government. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of South Carolina, by this resolution, congratulate and honor Ronald M. (Ron) Joye, of Lexington County, for his outstanding thirty-three year career in state government and for his distinguished service with the Department of Transportation upon his retirement.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Ronald M. Joye.
