Whereas, born in Mullins on July 14, 1953, he is a son of the late Furman and Dawsie Skipper George. A star athlete in high school, Wayne attended Coastal Carolina on a basketball scholarship and earned bachelor's degrees from Morris College and Coastal Carolina; and
Whereas, Representative George married his beloved wife, the former Helen Barrineau, in 1980, and together they reared three fine sons: Jeffrey, William, and Bradley; and
Whereas, when away from his duties in the House of Representatives, he resides in Mullins where he is an insurance and real estate executive at The George Agency, which he founded; and
Whereas, an active member of Macedonia United Methodist Church, Representative George has served the congregation as the finance chairman; and
Whereas, he served his community with deep commitment on the Mullins City Council from 1980 to 1988, and he led the City of Mullins as its mayor from 1988 to 2004; and
Whereas, Representative George served as the president of the Mullins Rotary in 1986, as the president of the Mullins Chamber in 1987, and on the board of trustees for Coastal Carolina University from 2006 to 2012. In 2004, Governor Mark Sanford named him the Rural Innovator of the Year; and

Whereas, since 2013, Representative George has faithfully served the citizens of District 57 in Dillon, Horry, and Marion counties in the House of Representatives. He currently serves on the House Education and Public Works Committee and the House Regulations and Administrative Procedures Committee; and
Whereas, in all of his service, Representative George has provided visionary counsel with integrity to his colleagues in the House of Representatives, drawing not only on his diverse experience in the public and private sectors, but also on his small-town values; and
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives will miss the dedicated service that Wayne George, their friend and colleague, has given to the House of Representatives, and hope that he will enjoy deep fulfillment in the years to come. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
