A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF CHIEF CHARLES N. FINDLAY OF GREENVILLE COUNTY, AND TO EXTEND THEIR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS LARGE AND LOVING FAMILY AND HIS MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the death of Charles N. Findlay at the age of eighty-three on Sunday, May 25, 2014; and

Whereas, born on December 29, 1930, in Aurora, Illinois, he was a son of the late Thomas and Hazel Gilmore Findlay; and

Whereas, Mr. Findlay served with distinction in the United States Air Force during the Korean conflict and was recently honored to travel to Washington, D.C., on the Honor Flight to see the memorials dedicated to our nation's military heroes; and

Whereas, for twenty-five years, he served the Lockport Township Fire Department in Lockport, Illinois, and when he retired, he moved to Greer and served as the fire chief of the Boiling Springs Fire District; and

Whereas, he was a member and officer at the American Legion in Greenville where he loved to volunteer in the War Museum, giving tours and sharing stories of his time in military service; and

Whereas, together with his beloved wife of sixty years, J. Jeannine Findlay, he reared four fine daughters: Fern Kinder, Francene Sandiford, Faye Findlay, and Charlene Proietta. They blessed their parents with five adoring grandchildren: Elise Grazulis, Robert Kinder, Ashleigh Proietta, Danielle Sandiford, and Anthony Proietta; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of Chief Findlay and for the example of sacrifice and service he set for all who knew him. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
