 CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF JAMES HENRY "ARTHUR"
 HOWARD OF CROSS AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY
 FRIENDS.

   05/30/13  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 62)

TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF JAMES HENRY "ARTHUR" HOWARD OF CROSS AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of James Henry "Arthur" Howard of Cross on May 26, 2013; and

Whereas, the son of the Reverend Webster Simon Howard and Elnora Bryant Howard-Burney, James Henry "Arthur" Howard was born on January 11, 1926, in Berkeley County; and

Whereas, Mr. Howard was educated in the Berkeley County School System. After working for a few years, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he served from 1944 to 1946. Stationed in Hawaii and Okinawa, Japan, he received an honorable discharge at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina; and

Whereas, on October 24, 1946, he married the former Minnie Sanders, who was his beloved wife for sixty-six years. God blessed their union with five children, as well as two adopted daughters; and

Whereas, Mr. Howard's work took him from serving as a dishwasher at Gamble's Restaurant and The Citadel in Charleston to the position of supervising dietitian, from which post he retired at the Naval Hospital of Charleston in October 1983. Through his many years providing service, he touched the lives and hearts of many he met along the way; and

Whereas, preceded in death by his daughter Sara, his memory will be cherished by his loving, devoted wife, Mrs. Minnie S. Howard; his children, Lillie Howard, Nancy Howard, Arthur Howard, Henry Howard, Charlene Smith, and Danielle Bradley-Moore; seventeen grandchildren; fifteen great-grandchildren; one great-great grandchild; and a host of other relatives and friends. God's servant, James Henry "Arthur" Howard, was truly a man after God's own heart. He will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the death of James Henry "Arthur" Howard of Cross and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Mrs. Minnie S. Howard for the family.
