TO EXPRESS THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY AND SORROW OF
THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE

FRIENDS OF A TRUE PUBLIC SERVANT AND ONE OF THE
FINEST LEGISLATORS IN THIS STATE'S HISTORY, THE
HONORABLE B.L. HENDRICKS OF PICKENS COUNTY, WHO
PASSED AWAY ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1995.
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were deeply
saddened to learn of the death on Wednesday, April 19, 1995, of
The Honorable B. L. Hendricks, who served in the House of
Representatives for twenty-two years; and
Whereas, Representative Hendricks held a South Carolina House
Seat longer than anyone from Pickens County; and
Whereas, Representative Hendricks will be long remembered as a
soft-spoken gentleman who preferred integrity over attention; and
Whereas, during his twenty-two years in the House of
Representatives, he served as Chairman of the Medical, Military,
Public and Municipal Affairs Committee and was a member of the
Rules Committee, Judiciary Committee, and Judicial Screening
Committee; and
Whereas, Representative Hendricks was a World War II pilot who
went on to become the Mayor of Easley; and
Whereas, he also served for a number of years on the Citadel Board
of Visitors, also served on the Board of Trustees of the Medical
University of South Carolina, on the Board of Visitors at Clemson
University, later was appointed as a Director on the Board of Santee
Cooper, and most recently served on the Advisory Board of First
Union Bank; and
Whereas, B. L. Hendricks was an outstanding individual and active
civic leader; he was active in business and politics and supported
many charitable causes; he was a man who believed strongly in
community service and lived his life accordingly; and
Whereas, he was a member of Easley First Baptist Church, a
member of the Coley Cleveland Sunday School Class, served
several terms as a church deacon, and later was appointed as deacon
emeritus; and
Whereas, Representative Hendricks was an exceptionally popular
and devoted public servant who was known, respected, and admired
across the State for his outstanding government work, excellent
leadership abilities, and dedicated public service; and
Whereas, history will record that Pickens County and the State of
South Carolina are better because B.L. Hendricks passed this way;
and
Whereas, we, the members of the General Assembly want his wife,
Carolyn W. Hendricks, and two sons, Bennett L. Hendricks III and
Glen F. Vick to know that they are uppermost in our thoughts and
have our deepest sympathy. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate
concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South
Carolina, by this resolution, are proud to have this opportunity to
note the enormous achievements of The Honorable B.L. Hendricks
and to express sorrow to his many friends and family.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
the family of The Honorable B. L. Hendricks.
