A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO SALUTE THE HONORABLE JAMES P. "SONNY" DAVIS ON HIS RETIREMENT FROM HONEA PATH TOWN COUNCIL AND TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE FOR HIS MANY YEARS OF COMMITTED SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE TOWN OF HONEA PATH.

Whereas, for many years, the Town of Honea Path has enjoyed the benefit of the commitment, experience, and leadership of the Honorable James P. "Sonny" Davis, member of Honea Path Town Council, who recently retired after seventeen years of faithful service; and

Whereas, during his term of service, former Councilman Davis served as mayor pro tem and missed only one town council meeting, demonstrating a dedication to his duties that flowed forth from a desire to return the blessing to the town he loves; and

Whereas, Sonny Davis believes strongly in active community involvement, and he has put his convictions into action by serving his community in various capacities. Mr. Davis led the Town of Honea Path in organizing litter pickup and recycling efforts and actively assisted with town events such as the Sugarfoot Festival, the Recreational Program, and Honea Path Christmas Parade. The latter was his favorite event as it allowed him to see the townspeople and distribute hundreds of stuffed animals and candy to children in attendance; and

Whereas, in addition, Mr. Davis, who worked at BASF in Anderson for more than thirty years as a safety coordinator, was active in countywide leadership meetings, always watching for streetlight outages and needed road improvements, seeking grant opportunities, and making himself available to residents of "the little town with the big heart"; and

Whereas, this man of faith also serves as a deacon and trustee of First Baptist Church in Honea Path and, in recognition of his many years of service to his town, was recently recognized as 2017 Citizen of the Year by the Honea Path Civitan Club; and

Whereas, Sonny Davis always has found strength for his labors in the strong support of his family: his beautiful wife, Glenda Fisher Davis; their two delightful daughters; and their two charming granddaughters; and

Whereas, appreciative of the legacy of consistent excellence and dedication Sonny Davis has bestowed on the people of South Carolina, most particularly those of Honea Path, the House takes great pleasure in wishing him all the best in the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, salute the Honorable James P. "Sonny" Davis on his retirement from Honea Path Town Council and express gratitude for his many years of committed service to the people of the Town of Honea Path.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Honorable James P. "Sonny" Davis.
