TO CONGRATULATE CLIFTON EDDIE BOOKERT UPON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT, TO COMMEND HIM FOR HIS THIRTY YEARS OF FAITHFUL SERVICE TO THE CITY OF COLUMBIA, AND TO WISH HIM MUCH HAPPINESS AND FULFILLMENT IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the South Carolina House of Representatives honors those individuals who faithfully serve the people of this great State; and

Whereas, Clifton Eddie Bookert, for thirty years a dedicated employee of the City of Columbia Water Department, stands among their number as a man respected by both employer and colleagues for his strong work ethic and character; and

Whereas, in 1979, just one month after graduation from Columbia's Eau Claire High School, he began work with the City of Columbia Water Department. During his thirty years with the department, he served in various capacities, finally hanging up the keys to his city work truck for a well-earned retirement on Oct. 30, 2009; and

Whereas, a man of faith, Clifton Bookert enjoys serving his God and his family and plans to use his increased leisure hours to spend more time with them, as well as more time exploring the intricacies of fishing and his favorite sports; and

Whereas, having done his duty with excellence from first to last, Clifton Bookert will be remembered with affection and gratitude by the city of Columbia and his many colleagues for years to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Clifton Eddie Bookert upon the occasion of his retirement, commend him for his thirty years of faithful service to the City of Columbia, and wish him much happiness and fulfillment in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Clifton Eddie Bookert.
