Whereas, this loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather enjoys indulging his hobbies, farming and gardening. A respected community leader, he serves his God as a deacon at Veighle Chapel Baptist Church and is a member of the American Legion and the Disabled Veterans of America; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives is proud to honor this truly gentlemanly South Carolinian at the celebration of his eightieth birthday and joins with his family and friends in congratulating him on reaching this extraordinary milestone. Now, therefore,
