Whereas, Mr. Scarborough is survived by his daughter, Kristee Deschamps; his mother, Rosa Lee Scarborough; five siblings; and numerous aunts, uncles, and other relatives; and
Whereas, Mr. Scarborough will be missed, but always will be remembered as a fine South Carolinian who possessed great strength and character. Now, therefore,
Be is resolved by the House of Representatives:
