A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE SINCERE SORROW OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY UPON THE PASSING OF THEODORE CLIFTON WEEKS OF AIKEN COUNTY, AND TO EXTEND DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS LOVING FAMILY AND TO HIS MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina were deeply saddened to learn of the death of former entrepreneur Clifton Weeks at the age of eighty-five on October 12, 2011; and

Whereas, a life-long resident of Aiken County, he was born in Montmorenci on October 3, 1926, to the late Bessie Woodward Weeks and Theodore Weeks; and

Whereas, he proudly served in the United States Navy with distinction during World War II, and after he earned a bachelor of science from the University of Virginia in 1947, he returned to the large family cotton farm; and

Whereas, he and his beloved wife, the late Franceys Beaty Weeks, raised a fine daughter, Monte Weeks Simmons; and

Whereas, in 1958, Clifton Weeks became the founding president and managing officer of Security Federal Bank, the only locally owned bank in Aiken County, and he directed the bank to hold the lead market share in deposits in the county with over six hundred million dollars in assets; and

Whereas, from 1987 to 2002, he served as the chairman of the board for Security Federal Corporation, the holding company for Security Federal Bank, and he was a member of Aiken Rotary Club, the Aiken Chamber of Commerce, and Aiken First Baptist Church, where he served as chairman of the finance committee; and

Whereas, he served his community in a myriad of ways, such as the chairman of the Aiken Technical College Foundation Board, an advisory director for Furman University, and treasurer for the United Way in Aiken County; and

Whereas, honored as Man of the Year by the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce, he was an integral part of the community, managing a variety of successful enterprises as a banker, a farmer, an insurance specialist, and a real estate developer; and

Whereas, in 1999, he received an honorary doctorate of business administration from the University of South Carolina-Aiken for his dedication to active involvement in the life of his local community; and for his commitment to encouraging economic development in this region of the State; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are grateful for the legacy of dedicated service that Theodore Clifton Weeks has left and for the standard of excellence he set for all who knew and loved this remarkable man. 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, express their sincere sorrow upon the passing of Theodore Clifton Weeks of Aiken County, and extend their deepest sympathy to his loving family and to his many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Theodore Clifton Weeks.
