himself to the community, nurturing the souls of men and stands among others as 
an outstanding deacon of the Gospel; and

Whereas, Deacon Willie E.

Calhoun County Veterans Affairs Officer; and

Whereas, he has 
continually given his time and efforts to his community. He served as the Mt. 
Carmel Missionary Baptist Association treasurer, was a member of the Ways and 
Means Committee at the Progressive Union, and served as chairman of the Calhoun 
County Transportation Committee; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate take great pleasure in recognizing Deacon Willie E. Snipes 
for setting the admirable example of a life well spent in service to God, 
family, and community. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:
