A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE HONORABLE Kirkman Finlay III OF RICHLAND COUNTY FOR HIS DEDICATED SERVICE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON BEHALF OF HIS CONSTITUENTS AND THE CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO WISH HIM MUCH SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives learned with sincere regret that Representative Finlay left from the House of Representatives at the conclusion of his most recent term; and

Whereas, born in Columbia on February 16, 1970, he is the son of Kirkman Finlay, Jr., and Mary Fleming "Rab" Finlay Thompson, and he earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia; and

Whereas, he married his beloved wife, Kathleen Ravenel, in 1997, and together they have reared three fine children: Kathleen "Kay" Hall Finlay, Mary Fleming Hampton Finlay, and Harriott Ravenel Finlay. When away from his duties in the House of Representatives, he resides in Columbia and is a farmer and restaurateur; and

Whereas, an active member of Church of the Apostles, Representative Finlay is deeply involved in his community and served on the Columbia City Council from 2006 to 2010; and

Whereas, he has faithfully served the citizens of District 75 in the House of Representatives since 2013; most recently during that time he served on the Ways and Means Committee; and

Whereas, in all of his service, Representative Finlay has provided the sharp insights of a businessman, along with the wisdom and common sense of a farmer; and

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives will miss the keen and impassioned service that Kirkman Finlay, their friend and colleague, has given to the House of Representatives, and they hope that he will enjoy deep fulfillment in the years to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend the Honorable Kirkman Finlay III of Richland County for his dedicated service in the House of Representatives on behalf of his constituents and the citizens of South Carolina and wish him much success and happiness in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Honorable Kirkman Finlay III.
