Whereas, Chief McNair attends Kittiwake Baptist Church where he serves as chairman of the deacons. He is married to Cheryl Caudle McNair and has two daughters, one of whom is now with the Lord, two granddaughters, and one great granddaughter; and

Whereas, the Senate is grateful for the legacy of consistent commitment and leadership Chief McNair has bestowed on the citizens of South Carolina, and the members take great pleasure in wishing him all the best as he enters a much-deserved retirement. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Chief Charles E. McNair, Director of the Cayce Department of Public Safety, on the occasion of his retirement, extend deep appreciation for his many years of service, and offer best wishes for a satisfying and rewarding retirement.
