Whereas, Mr. Pack had served as a Sumter County magistrate for two years at the time of his death. His keen ability to balance justice and compassion quickly earned him the respect and admiration of his fellow magistrates and of those who appeared before him; and

Whereas, prior to his appointment as a magistrate, he was in automotive sales with McLaughlin Ford in Sumter for over a decade and a half, where his fair dealings, concern for others, and outgoing personality resulted in a very successful career and earned him the friendship of his many, many customers; and

Whereas, Mr. Pack was an active member of many civic organizations, among them the Omar Shrine Temple, the Sumter Lions Club, and the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce; and

Whereas, his public service also included serving on the Board of Trustees for Sumter School District 2 and in addition he was a faithful member of First Baptist Church where he had served as a deacon; and

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

That, by this resolution, the Members of the South Carolina General Assembly express sorrow at the death of the Honorable Leslie Earl Pack, Sumter County Magistrate, and extend deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
