Whereas, born September 30, 1941, in Florence, James M. "Jimmy" Lynch was the son of Edward James and Hennie Mae Parnell Lynch. The young Jimmy attended Francis Marion College and afterwards became a small business owner in Timmonsville while employed by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company; and

Whereas, he believed strongly in active participation in his community and demonstrated that conviction through involvement in a number of organizations in Timmonsville and Florence County. Jimmy Lynch served on the board of Florence County School District Four and for more than twenty years with the Pee Dee Tourism Commission. In addition, he served on the Economic Development Partnership of Florence and was an active member of the Elk Lodge. He was a veteran of the United States Air Force, having served in Korea; and

Whereas, following his appointment by Governor Carroll Campbell in May 1990, Jimmy Lynch served as a summary court judge in Florence County for twenty-two years, retiring in June 2012. He was a member of the South Carolina Summary Court Judges Association and was awarded the title of "Timmonsville's Favorite Judge" by the Town of Timmonsville in 2006; and

Whereas, Judge Lynch leaves to cherish his memory his children, Wendy Lynch, Elizabeth "Beth" Lynch Langley, Rebecca "Becky" Lynch White, and James Marion "Jim" Lynch II; two grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is grateful for the legacy of leadership Judge Lynch bestowed on this great State and appreciates the long and enduring guidance he gave to the citizens of South Carolina. He will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the death of the Honorable James M.
