Whereas, Mr. Barnes dedicated his state career to the South Carolina Tax Commission and was employed there as tax auditor from February 4, 1952, until his retirement on July 1, 1982; and

Whereas, Mr. Barnes' involvement in civic, community, religious, and personal endeavors manifested exemplary professionalism and initiative and he consistently inspired others to achieve higher goals.
