Whereas, Kenneth Holcombe, former Chief of Police for the City of Easley, died recently at the age of sixty-five after a long illness; and
Whereas, Chief Holcombe began his law enforcement career with the Easley Police Department in 1956 and eventually became the chief, serving in that capacity from 1975 to 1989; and
Whereas, he helped to organize Camp Cove Creek as a way to provide teenage boys with guidance and to encourage them to do something positive with their lives; and
Whereas, Chief Holcombe was a model law enforcement officer and public servant; he carried out his duties with excellence and contributed generously of his time, talents, energy, and resources to his community; he was respected, admired, and loved in the City of Easley and throughout Pickens County and will be greatly missed; and
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives want Chief Holcombe's family and many friends to know that they are uppermost in their thoughts and have the members' deepest sympathy. Now, therefore,
