A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO HONOR THE LIFE OF ROGER JERMYN OF YORK COUNTY, AND TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON HIS PASSING TO HIS LARGE AND LOVING FAMILY AND HIS MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the death of Roger Jermyn at the age of 73 on January 1, 2011; and

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

Whereas, under his leadership, the local AARP chapter performed an average six hundred fifty volunteer hours of community service work per month; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of Roger Jermyn and for the example of sacrifice and kindness he set for all who knew him. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor the life of Roger Jermyn of York County, and express their profound sorrow upon his passing to his large and loving family and his many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to the family of Roger Jermyn.
