A SENATE RESOLUTION

EXPRESSING THE SYMPATHY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE TO THE FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS OF THE LATE JOHN MILTON TERRY, SR., OF COLUMBIA.

Whereas, the members of the Senate were deeply saddened to learn of the death on March 24, 1993, of John Milton Terry, Sr., of Columbia; and

Whereas, Mr. Terry, a Sumter native who settled in Columbia after serving in World War II as a tail gunner in the 5th Army Air Corps in the South Pacific theater of operations, began his working career at Elmwood Pharmacy in Columbia and founded Taylor Street Pharmacy in 1947; and

Whereas, Mr. Terry was not only a pillar of Columbia's business establishment, but was also deeply devoted to good work on behalf of his beloved alma mater, the University of South Carolina, for years broadcasting the statistical summary of Gamecock basketball; and

Whereas, his interest in sports led him to further service as President of the Columbia Touchdown Club, the Columbia Tipoff Club, and the Gamecock Club; and

Whereas, he helped organize the Jamil Shrine Temple in 1974, serving as the Temple's first potentate -- one of many honors he received in a forty-seven year career as a Mason and Shriner; and

Whereas, Mr. Terry was a member of numerous civic boards and clubs, including service on the board of trustees of Richland Memorial Hospital, the Board of Governors for Shriners Hospital, Greenville Unit, and a member of Rotary and Sertoma; and

Whereas, it is appropriate for members of the Senate to pause in their deliberations so that they may note the passing of so distinguished a son of South Carolina. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate express their sympathy to the family and many friends of the late John Milton Terry, Sr., of Columbia.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mrs. Myrtle Sease Terry.
