Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the South Carolina House of Representatives honors those individuals who faithfully serve the people of this great State; and

Whereas, a man of faith, Clifton Bookert enjoys serving his God and his family and plans to use his increased leisure hours to spend more time with them, as well as more time exploring the intricacies of fishing and his favorite sports; and
Whereas, having done his duty with excellence from first to last, Clifton Bookert will be remembered with affection and gratitude by the city of Columbia and his many colleagues for years to come. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
