Whereas, former state Senate and Representative John Henry "Hawkeye" Williams of Aiken County died on January 8, 1991, at the age of seventy-three; and
Whereas, he was born in Aiken and was a World War II Army Air Corps veteran, serving as a captain and navigator in the China-Burma-India Theater; and
Whereas, he was a graduate of Clemson and also graduated from the University of South Carolina, where he received his law degree; and
Whereas, he was first elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1950, was a member of the South Carolina Senate from 1952 to 1956, and served again in the House in the early 1970's; and
Whereas, he was a distinguished lawyer in Aiken and served as Aiken County attorney for several years; and
Whereas, he was an outstanding individual who was greatly respected in the General Assembly during his years of service and was also much admired and loved by the residents of Aiken County whom he represented and served so well and faithfully during his career; and
Whereas, we would like his family and his many friends to know that they are uppermost in our thoughts at this time and have our deepest sympathy. Now, therefore,
