A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF ALBERT TONEY OF SUMTER COUNTY, AND TO EXTEND DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the death of Mr. Albert Toney of Sumter County who passed quietly and peacefully into eternal rest on January 1, 2006; and

Whereas, born July 23, 1923, to the late Walter and Estell Sumpter Toney in Elliott, South Carolina, he was blessed to have been raised in a Christian home to a family limited in material wealth but possessing the uncommon riches of a strong faith in God, integrity, and a firm belief in hard, honest work; and

Whereas, he grew up working hard on his parents' farm and attending the public schools of Lee and Sumter counties; and

Whereas, the loving husband of Rosella George, Mr. Toney was a veteran of World War II who served his country with both honor and distinction. After his honorable discharge from the army, he was employed by Georgia Pacific as a machinist and eventually settled down with his wife in Sumter permanently; and

Whereas, this faithful servant to the Lord was a member of New Zion A.M.E. Church and faithfully served in numerous capacities including serving as a steward, class leader, loyal member of Sunday School Class Number 5, and as Church Treasurer for many years; and

Whereas, his many other interests included fishing, bird and deer hunting, and gardening. He was an avid grower of African violets; and

Whereas, his civic involvement included being active in the NAACP and the Democratic Party; and

Whereas, preceded in death by his son Marvin, he will always be remembered and will live on in the memories of his family and many friends; and

Whereas, it is with honor that the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives pause to reflect on the rich and faithful life of Albert Toney whose life serves as a beautiful and lasting example to us all. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, express their sorrow upon the death of Albert Toney of Sumter County and extend deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mrs. Rosella G. Toney.
