TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE HONORABLE LARRY B. HYMAN, JR., AT-LARGE JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT, SEAT 13, UPON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT FROM THE BENCH AND TO WISH HIM CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate have learned that the Honorable Larry B. Hyman, Jr., at-large judge of the Circuit Court, Seat 13, will begin a well-deserved retirement on February 24, 2020, after twelve years of faithful and outstanding service to the citizens of the Palmetto State; and

Whereas, born in Conway, Larry B. Hyman, Jr., is the son of Larry B. Hyman, Sr., and the late Earlene Johnson Hyman. He married the former Meredith Diane Valois of North Augusta in 1973, and they are the proud parents of two fine sons, B. Alex Hyman, Esq., and Jordan W. Hyman; and

Whereas, he attended the public schools of Conway and the Coastal Carolina regional campus of the University of South Carolina, graduating from the University of South Carolina in l972 with a bachelor's degree in political science. While at Coastal Carolina, he served as president of the freshman class and of the student body and was chosen to receive the faculty's George C. Rogers award. In 1976, Judge Hyman received his juris doctorate from the University of South Carolina School of Law; and

Whereas, he practiced law for a brief period in Greenville before returning to Conway to take over the practice of newly elected Judge Sidney T. Floyd. For the next thirty-one years, he was a sole practitioner, appearing in both the civil and criminal sides of state and federal courts. In addition to extensive trial experience, his practice also involved substantial real estate and business law; and

Whereas, from 1984 to 1988, he was the municipal judge for the City of Conway. He served continuously on the Horry County Public Defender Corporation Board of Directors from 1990 until 2008 and was its chairman for ten years. He also was the district representative to the Horry County Parks and Open Spaces Board from 2005 to 2008; and

Whereas, Judge Hyman and his wife have been active members of Trinity United Methodist Church for more than thirty years. He teaches Sunday School in the senior men's class and has served on numerous committees, including Pastor-Parish Relations and Trustees. The Fraternal Order of Police awarded him its Life Saving Medal in 1994, and he was featured in the Myrtle Beach Sun News series "People Caring About People"; and

Whereas, in his spare time, the judge enjoys his Labrador retrievers and making custom duck calls. This avid waterfowler was featured in James Fleming's book, Custom Calls; and

Whereas, to recognize Judge Hyman for his many years of service, his colleagues and friends will host a retirement celebration in his honor on February 4, 2020; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is grateful for the legacy of leadership and jurisprudence Judge Hyman has bestowed on this great State and appreciates his long and enduring service to the citizens of South Carolina. Taking great pleasure in wishing him well as he enters retirement, the members trust he will find much enjoyment in the more leisurely pace of the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and commend the Honorable Larry B. Hyman, Jr., at-large judge of the Circuit Court, Seat 13, upon the occasion of his retirement from the bench and wish him continued success and happiness in all his future endeavors.
