Whereas, he served on the Elloree Town Council from 1977-1979 as Mayor Pro Tempore and served as Mayor of Elloree from 1979-1988; and

Whereas, during his tenure as Mayor of Elloree, the town received former Governor Richard Riley's Great Town Designation, secured a million dollar UDAG grant for a new water tank, and successfully recruited Food Lion's third distribution center; and
