A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

COMMENDING AND THANKING J. D. WILLIAMS OF COLUMBIA FOR HIS OUTSTANDING AND DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Whereas, J. D. Williams was born in Fairfield County; he entered the United States Army in 1944 and received an honorable discharge in 1946; he is married to Mary Ford Williams, who retired from Richland School District One with thirty years of service; and they have three sons and two daughters and seven grandchildren; and

Whereas, Mr. Williams was one of the first African Americans hired as a firefighter in Columbia and he retired from the City of Columbia Fire Department in 1981; and

Whereas, he attended Benedict College and is a member of Second Calvary Baptist Church; he is active with the church bowling league and the Benedict College Alumni Association; and

Whereas, he began working as a porter for the House of Representatives in November of 1985 and for the past eleven years has rendered exemplary service to the General Assembly in that capacity; and

Whereas, we have come to know and admire J. D. Williams as an outstanding employee and a good friend; he has always shown the utmost courtesy to all who have served in the General Assembly during his years of service, as well as to all others who have worked in or visited the State House; he is retiring at the end of the 1996 session and his service will be greatly missed; and

Whereas, we want J. D. to know that he has our respect, admiration, and friendship and that we appreciate all that he has done during the past eleven years. 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, commend and thank J. D. Williams of Columbia for his outstanding and dedicated service to the General Assembly.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. J. D. Williams.
