A SENATE RESOLUTION

EXPRESSING THE SYMPATHY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE TO THE FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS OF THE LATE DR. H. COOPER BLACK, JR.

Whereas, the members of the Senate were saddened to note the passing of Dr. H. Cooper Black, Jr., on October 24, 1993, during the legislative interim; and

Whereas, Dr. Black who formerly served as chief of staff at Lexington Medical Center began his career in medicine after graduating from Wofford College when he enrolled in the Medical University of South Carolina where he graduated in 1965 and completed a residency in general surgery in 1970; and

Whereas, Dr. Black, after serving as a major in the United States Army from 1971-73, began to practice surgery in Columbia, where he was for twenty years a partner in Columbia Surgical Associates; and

Whereas, his dedication to his profession was evidenced by his membership in the South Carolina Medical Association, Lexington County Medical Association, American Medical Association, as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, as an affiliate of the Royal Society of Medicine, London, as diplomate of the American Board of Surgery, and as assistant clinical professor of surgery at the University of South Carolina Medical School; and

Whereas, Dr. Black also served as chief of surgery at Lexington Medical Center from 1974-76, as chief of staff of Lexington Medical Center from 1982-84, and as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Lowman Home; and

Whereas, Dr. Black was a noted outdoorsman and was a member of the Sandlapper Field Trial Club and chairman of the South Carolina Sporting Dog Commission; and

Whereas, it is appropriate for the members of the Senate to pause in their deliberations so that they might note the passing of so distinguished a son of South Carolina and such an extraordinary exemplar of the high calling that is the medical profession. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate express sympathy to the family and many friends of the late Dr. H. Cooper Black, Jr.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to his wife, Mrs. Jackie DuBose Black.
