Whereas, born in Elkton, Maryland, Mr. Jermyn and his family moved to the Carolinas in 1964 and to Rock Hill shortly thereafter; and
Whereas, together with his beloved wife, Frances Hamilton Jermyn, he reared three fine children: Keith Jermyn, Lynne Jermyn Dickert, and Gayle Jermyn Senn, who blessed them with three adoring grandchildren; and
Whereas, a veteran of the Army National Guard, he served Allied Signal Corporation, now Honeywell Corporation, for thirty-three years before retiring; and
Whereas, he served as the former chapter president of the Rock Hill American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), and in 2006, he was awarded the AARP Andrus Award for Community Service, the highest honor bestowed by the AARP and reserved for outstanding individuals who are making a powerful difference in their communities; and
Whereas, a member of the Episcopal Church of Our Savior, he worked on a myriad of volunteer projects, ranging from delivering meals to shut-ins to serving as a trained and certified volunteer ombudsman for the South Carolina Lieutenant Governor's long-term care ombudsman program; and
