A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO REMEMBER AND CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF FRED ALEXANDER OF ANDERSON COUNTY UPON HIS PASSING, AND TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SYMPATHY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO HIS LOVING FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the death of Fred Alexander on November 30, 2016; and

Whereas, revered and respected, Fred Alexander began serving on the Board of Trustees for Anderson School District One in 1990. He was elected to serve as chairman for twenty-five of those twenty-six years. His fellow board members described him as a person who led by example, was well prepared, dependable, collaborative, and a true public servant; and

Whereas, he truly had a passion for public education and, as a board member, he worked consistently and diligently to do what he knew was best for the children of the school district. His duties were performed tirelessly and in an exemplary fashion. Even though the tasks were often times consuming and challenging, he always remained a positive advocate for the children, the community, and public education as a whole; and

Whereas, as chairman of the board, Fred Alexander handled his responsibilities with great leadership, efficiency, expertise, professionalism, and care, helping build the school system into one of the finest in the State. As expressed by an Anderson district administrator, "His kind and gentle manner have been the approach I have tried to emulate with administrators and teachers over the years. He believed in me, he encouraged me to work hard to maintain our tradition of excellence, and he always had such tremendous gratitude for my efforts. I will forever strive to make this the best school district in the state."; and

Whereas, he found his inspiration in his loving wife of sixty years, Wanda, and their three children, Rhonda, Barry, and Randy; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of Fred Alexander and for the example of sacrifice and kindness he set for all. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the members of the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, remember and celebrate the life of Fred Alexander of Anderson County upon his passing and express their profound sympathy to his loving family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Wanda Alexander.
