VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO HONOR MR. JOE PRINGLE AND TO RECOGNIZE HIM AT THE AGE OF NINETY-TWO FOR BEING THE OLDEST LIVING RESIDENT OF THE TOWN OF EASTOVER.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to recognize Mr. Joe Pringle as the oldest living resident of the Town of Eastover at the venerable age of ninety-two; and
Whereas, born on March 22, 1929, Joe is the oldest son and second child to the late Henry and Lottie Malone Pringle. Taught from a young age by his parents the value of helping others, he often shouldered the responsibility of building the fire at school to warm the other children; and
Whereas, though he attended Webber School in his teenage years, Joe was unable to complete that education as he left to find work. Quick to learn and eager to provide, he did a variety of things from farming to mechanical work. In the end, he found himself fortunate enough to be employed at Columbia Steel and Metal, where he dutifully and diligently worked for sixty-three years; and
Whereas, embodying the values his parents instilled in him, Joe has been a boon to his community. Over the years he could be found taking firewood to the elderly and giving rides to those who needed transportation in order to get to work. He often provided to the community as though it was an extension of his own family; and
Whereas, a man of great faith, Joe has been a faithful lifetime member of St. Phillip African Methodist Episcopal Church. In his time there, he received the majority of his education from the St. Phillip School, on which site the church now resides. He has also in turn given much of his time and talents in service to the church, serving on numerous boards and organizations. Through the Lord's grace, Joe has managed to live a good and prosperous life, and those of St. Phillip AME continue to know Joe as the sharpest dressed man in the congregation; and
Whereas, having been lucky enough to marry his late wife, Henrietta Brown, the couple shared sixty-three years of marriage. Together they had four beautiful children, six grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren who have flourished over the years; and
Whereas, at the age of ninety-two, we can all aspire to be as well off as Joe, who can still drive, cook, cut grass, socialize, attend activities, and dress to impress; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are delighted to pause and recognize the oldest living resident of Eastover, Mr. Joe Pringle, a man with unquestionable values and a deep and abiding reverence for God and His many blessings. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor Mr. Joe Pringle and recognize him at the age of ninety-two for being the oldest living resident of the Town of Eastover.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mr. Joe Pringle.
