A house RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF LUTHER "CAP" LYNARD, SR., OF BEAUFORT COUNTY AND TO EXTEND THEIR DEEPEST SYMPATHY 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 Luther "Cap" Lynard, Sr., at the age of eighty-six on December 7, 2022; and

Whereas, born on May 9, 1936, Mr. Lynard was the oldest of five children born to the late Fred and Suzanna "Nettie" Lynard; and

Whereas, a resident of St. Helena Island, he was the owner of Lynard Tile Company for over thirty years, and many people living in beautiful homes on Hilton Head Island appreciate his fine tile work in their kitchens and bathrooms; and

Whereas, Mr. Lynard was married to his beloved wife, Deborah Singleton "Deb" Lynard for the past fifty-four years, and he had five children in whom he delighted; and

Whereas, his children blessed him with the devotion of many loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who affectionately called him "Granddaddy Luke." He was very appreciative of his granddaughter Latoya Lynard who attended to him with an unselfish spirit as if she were his daughter; and

Whereas, an avid fisherman who even loved to clean fish, Mr. Lynard has many who will cherish their fond memories of him: Abraham Williams of Castle Rock, Colorado; Melvin Brown of St. Helena Island; Sherri Mack of Stafford, Virginia; Luther Lynard, Jr., of Tom Fripp Plantation; and Michael Lynard of Midway, Georgia; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of Cap Lynard and for the outstanding example of service 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, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Luther "Cap" Lynard of Beaufort County and extend their deepest sympathy to his large and loving family and his many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Luther "Cap" Lynard.
