Whereas, he and his lovely wife, the former Lou Williams, have two wonderful children and five grandchildren; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, would like to thank him on behalf of the citizens of Oconee County for his truly outstanding service as county fire marshal, and for his other fire service work in the county on the occasion of his retirement. Now, therefore,
