A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO THE FAMILY OF MR. H. FILMORE MABRY OF ORANGEBURG, RETIRED CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER OF ORANGEBURG AND CALHOUN COUNTIES, UPON HIS DEATH.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly are deeply saddened to learn of the death of H. Filmore Mabry, retired chief executive officer of the Regional Medical Center of Orangeburg and Calhoun Counties; and

Whereas, Fil Mabry retired as chief executive officer of the Regional Medical Center in December, 1993 after having served in this position for thirty-two years; and

Whereas, he was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, received an undergraduate degree in business administration from Duke University in 1951, and completed the graduate program in hospital administration at Duke University in 1955; and

Whereas, he truly distinguished himself as a leader in hospital administration over a thirty-eight-year period. He began his career in hospital administration in 1955 in Manning, assumed the position of chief executive officer of the Regional Medical Center (then the Orangeburg Regional Hospital) in 1961, and served in this capacity until his retirement in December 1993; and

Whereas, Fil Mabry's contributions to Orangeburg and the Orangeburg medical community are many, but clearly the opening of the new medical center in May, 1991 is one of the great milestones of his tenure at the Regional Medical Center; and

Whereas, the respect in which he was held by his colleagues, peers, and associates is evidenced by the fact that the Regional Medical Center and the adjacent cancer treatment center are named in his honor; and

Whereas, with the loss of this fine man at the age of sixty-six, Orangeburg and South Carolina have lost a thoughtful and caring executive, a public-spirited community leader, a true gentleman, and a good friend; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, would like to extend their sincere condolences to his wife, children, and other members of his family upon his death. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly hereby express their deepest sympathy to the family of Mr. H. Filmore Mabry of Orangeburg, retired chief executive officer of the Regional Medical Center of Orangeburg and Calhoun Counties, upon his death.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to his widow, Mrs. Joan Mabry.
