Whereas, Reverend Eaddy served as pastor of several congregations, including pastor of Mount Carmel Baptist Church in Timmonsville for more than forty-five years; pastor of Elizabeth Baptist Church in Florence County for fifty years; and pastor of Mount Tabor Baptist Church in Evergreen for four years; and
Whereas, he served his country with distinction as a member of the United States Navy for five years; and
Whereas, Reverend Eaddy has received numerous honors and awards for his unselfish commitment to doing the will of God throughout the Pee Dee Region of this State; and
