   02/23/00  Senate Introduced, adopted, returned with concurrence SJ-9

TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO THE FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS OF OUR BELOVED COLLEAGUE, THE HONORABLE CHARLES ANTHONY "TONY" HARRIS OF CHERAW, WHO DIED ON NOVEMBER 28, 1999.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were saddened to learn of the death on November 28, 1999, of the Honorable Charles Anthony "Tony" Harris of Cheraw; and

Whereas, Tony Harris was a man of public service. He served in the House of Representatives from 1967 to 1968, and in the Senate from 1969 to 1978. He was elected circuit court judge for the Fourth Judicial Circuit in 1978 and served until 1992, with dedication and distinction. In 1992, he retired from the bench and returned to the practice of law with our colleague, Representative Douglas Jennings, Jr., in the firm of Jennings and Harris; and

Whereas, besides being a man who thrived in public service, Tony was a devoted husband and family man. He was married to the late Jean Laney Harris, who succeeded him as the representative from House District 53 and served continuously with distinction from 1979 until her death in 1997. He is survived by four children: two sons, our colleague, Representative C. Anthony Harris, Jr., and C. Frederick Harris of Cheraw, two daughters, Dr. Rainey H. Knight of Hartsville and Mary Margaret Harris of Cheraw, and two grandsons, Frederick Harris Knight of Hartsville and Charles Anthony Harris III, of Cheraw. He is also survived by two sisters, Ann Heathy Walker of Charlotte and Lorraine H. Madison of St. Petersburg, Florida, and fifteen nieces and nephews. A brother, Billy Harris, predeceased him; and

Whereas, Tony and Jean's son, Representative C. Anthony Harris, Jr., is continuing the strong family tradition of public service by representing the people of House District 53 serving Chesterfield and Marlboro Counties; and

Whereas, Tony was a veteran of the Korean War, serving two tours of duty with the Marine Corps; he was also a member of the American Legion, the Cheraw Kiwanis Club, and the First United Methodist Church; and

Whereas, it is only fitting and proper that the members of the General Assembly pause in their deliberations to note the passing of this outstanding leader in his community and the State. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly extend their deepest sympathy to the family and friends of our beloved colleague, the Honorable Charles Anthony "Tony" Harris of Cheraw, who died on November 28, 1999.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to each of the children of Tony Harris.
