VERSIONS OF THIS BILL

5/11/2022

TO RECOGNIZE AND CONGRATULATE THE HONORABLE LARRY F. HONEYCUTT AT THE COMPLETION OF SIXTEEN YEARS AS A DEDICATED LANCASTER COUNTY COUNCILMAN, TO THANK HIM FOR HIS DISTINGUISHED SERVICE, AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, for sixteen years, Lancaster County has enjoyed the benefit of the commitment, experience, and leadership of Larry F. Honeycutt, member of Lancaster County Council, who, having decided to retire, will step down from his duties as a councilman in December 2022; and

Whereas, this patriotic son of South Carolina, heeding the call of his country, served in the United States Navy from 1956 to 1959; and

Whereas, after more than thirty-six years of service, in 1996 Larry retired from Georgia Pacific as a production superintendent. He truly loved his job, his company, and the employees; and

Whereas, in 2006, Larry Honeycutt took up his duties as a Lancaster County councilman and has now served four terms representing District 4. During his tenure on county council, where he has served as both vice chairman and secretary, he has championed many projects, ranging from the new courthouse to the new animal shelter. He also led the charge to make Lancaster County the first totally smoke-free county in South Carolina; and

Whereas, Larry Honeycutt's self-professed greatest accomplishment was the successful wooing of his wife of sixty-four years, Jan Ramsey Honeycutt, a beautiful red-headed woman from South Dakota. Along with the love of his life, Larry delights in his four beloved daughters, eleven charming grandchildren, and nineteen delightful great-grandchildren. His family is made complete with his three sons-in-law and daughter-in-law; and

Whereas, Larry has been devotedly attending Reformation Lutheran Church for over sixty years. He faithfully raised his family in this church and has never missed an opportunity to serve in whatever capacity he was needed, including on the church council; and

Whereas, an alumnus of the University of South Carolina, Larry attended Gamecock football games for many years. He was also a Brooklyn Dodgers fan until they moved to the West Coast and his loyalty necessarily shifted to the New York Yankees. He and one of his daughters attended many games together, even getting the opportunity to be in the stands for the World Series; and

Whereas, Larry is known for his integrity, honesty, and vision. He has never met a stranger and strives to help anyone in need. He is loved and respected by all who know him; and

Whereas, appreciative of the legacy of consistent commitment and excellence Larry Honeycutt has bestowed on the citizens of this great State, particularly those of Lancaster County, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in wishing him well at his departure from county council. He carries with him the gratitude and good wishes of all his colleagues and constituents. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and congratulate the Honorable Larry F. Honeycutt at the completion of sixteen years as a dedicated Lancaster County councilman, thank him for his distinguished service, and extend best wishes in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Honorable Larry F. Honeycutt.
