TO EXPRESS THE DEEP SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AT THE DEATH OF FORMER SENATOR P. BRADLEY MORRAH, JR., OF GREENVILLE AND EXTENDING SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the Honorable P. Bradley Morrah, Jr., of Greenville, a former member of the South Carolina Senate and House of Representatives, died on February 17, 1992, at the age of seventy-six; and
Whereas, in 1936, he graduated from The Citadel, where he lettered in basketball and track, and, in 1939, he graduated from Duke University Law School; and
Whereas, he served in the House of Representatives from Greenville County in 1941 and again from 1947 to 1948, and he represented Greenville County in the Senate from 1953 to 1966; and
Whereas, he was a very highly respected member of the General Assembly and was a distinguished practicing attorney, having served as president of the Greenville County Bar Association; and
Whereas, he served as chairman of the South Carolina American Revolution Bicentennial Commission and the United States Constitution Bicentennial Commission of South Carolina; and
Whereas, he served in the Second World War, attained the rank of major in the Army, and received the Bronze Star and seven battle stars; and
Whereas, he contributed greatly of his time, talents, and energy to many civic organizations and causes and dedicated a large part of his life to public service; and
Whereas, he was one of the most-respected, best-liked officeholders ever in the State, a giving and caring man, and a true gentleman, and he will be missed terribly by his countless friends; and
Whereas, we want his family and his friends to know that they are uppermost in our thoughts and have our deepest sympathy. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, express sorrow at the death of former Senator P. Bradley Morrah, Jr., of Greenville and extend sympathy to his family and many friends.
