A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND COMMEND THE HONORABLE KENNETH KENNEDY OF WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY FOR TWENTY YEARS OF ENERGETIC AND DEDICATED SERVICE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO WISH HIM CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate have genuine regret upon being informed that Kenneth Kennedy will retire from the House of Representatives at the conclusion of his current term after twenty years of faithful service; and

Whereas, Representative Kennedy first came to the South Carolina General Assembly in 1991 to represent District 101, and he has served on the Ways and Means Committee where he has assisted in directing the State during some of the most financially difficult days in our nation; and

Whereas, since 1990, he has served on the University of South Carolina Substance Abuse Advisory Council; and

Whereas, he graduated from C. E. Murray High School and attended Benedict College and Brooklyn College in New York; and

Whereas, born to Susie and Ben Kennedy in 1942, Ken Kennedy married his beloved wife Doris M. Glast in 1963, and they reared three outstanding children: Manuel, Kimberly, and Kathy; and

Whereas, from 1984 to 1991, he served on the Williamsburg County Council and on the board of directors for Greeleyville Medical Center from 1985 to 1989; and

Whereas, a businessman widely respected in the Greeleyville community, Ken Kennedy served as the president of the C. E. Murray High School Parent Teacher Association from 1983 to 1988, and he is a member of the Pride of Foreston Masonic Lodge Number 296 and the Mouzon Community Men's Club and is a trustee of Trinity Baptist Church; and

Whereas, Representative Kennedy brought his valuable business knowledge and clear leadership voice to the Williamsburg County Democratic Party when he served as the party's chairman from 1987 to 1990; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate will miss the selfless and devoted service that their friend and colleague, Kenneth Kennedy, has given to the House of Representatives and hope that he will experience deep joy and fulfillment in the years to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, acknowledge and commend the Honorable Kenneth Kennedy of Williamsburg County for twenty years of energetic and dedicated service in the House of Representatives on behalf of the citizens of South Carolina, and wish him continued success and happiness in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Honorable Kenneth Kennedy.
