A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY AND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA TO THE FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS OF A TRUE PUBLIC SERVANT AND ONE OF THE FINEST LEGISLATORS IN THIS STATE'S HISTORY, THE HONORABLE B.L. HENDRICKS OF PICKENS COUNTY, WHO PASSED AWAY ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1995.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were deeply saddened to learn of the death on Wednesday, April 19, 1995, of The Honorable B. L. Hendricks, who served in the House of Representatives for twenty-two years; and

Whereas, Representative Hendricks held a South Carolina House Seat longer than anyone from Pickens County; and

Whereas, Representative Hendricks will be long remembered as a soft-spoken gentleman who preferred integrity over attention; and

Whereas, during his twenty-two years in the House of Representatives, he served as Chairman of the Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee and was a member of the Rules Committee, Judiciary Committee, and Judicial Screening Committee; and

Whereas, Representative Hendricks was a World War II pilot who went on to become the Mayor of Easley; and

Whereas, he also served for a number of years on the Citadel Board of Visitors, also served on the Board of Trustees of the Medical University of South Carolina, on the Board of Visitors at Clemson University, later was appointed as a Director on the Board of Santee Cooper, and most recently served on the Advisory Board of First Union Bank; and

Whereas, B. L. Hendricks was an outstanding individual and active civic leader; he was active in business and politics and supported many charitable causes; he was a man who believed strongly in community service and lived his life accordingly; and

Whereas, he was a member of Easley First Baptist Church, a member of the Coley Cleveland Sunday School Class, served several terms as a church deacon, and later was appointed as deacon emeritus; and

Whereas, Representative Hendricks was an exceptionally popular and devoted public servant who was known, respected, and admired across the State for his outstanding government work, excellent leadership abilities, and dedicated public service; and

Whereas, history will record that Pickens County and the State of South Carolina are better because B.L. Hendricks passed this way; and

Whereas, we, the members of the General Assembly want his wife, Carolyn W. Hendricks, and two sons, Bennett L. Hendricks III and Glen F. Vick to know that they are uppermost in our thoughts and have our deepest sympathy. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, are proud to have this opportunity to note the enormous achievements of The Honorable B.L. Hendricks and to express sorrow to his many friends and family.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the family of The Honorable B. L. Hendricks.
