Document has been reformatted to meet World Wide Web specifications.) A house RESOLUTION To recognize and Honor Jerry Purcell for his many years OF COMMITMENT and service to the BennetTsville Community.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are proud to recognize Jerry Purcell for forty-nine years of service and dedication to his community;
and Whereas, Jerry Purcell is the owner of Purcell's Barber Shop, which opened in 1997, and has almost five decades of hair cutting experience.
His barber shop is a generational cornerstone of the Bennettsville community providing a welcoming atmosphere to anyone who walks through its door;
and Whereas, Mr.
Purcell started cutting hair at just fourteen years old.
He learned the craft under Willie Arthur "Suge" Covington.
Suge was instrumental in Jerry's hair cutting journey, teaching him many life lessons such as discipline, pride, and the importance of serving people with excellence.
In 1985 Jerry was also mentored by Gillespie Ervin, who opened his barbershop to Jerry and gave him a place to practice, fail, learn, and grow.
He earned his barber's license in 1990 and officially stepped into the profession he had been mastering for years.
His first official job was under Cordell Chestnut, where he continued to sharpen his skills and build a name for himself, quickly becoming known for his precision, consistency, and genuine care;
and Whereas, at twenty-seven years old, Mr.
Purcell opened his own shop, Purcell's Barber Shop.
Throughout almost three decades of operation, Purcell's Barber Shop has become a generational hair care stop, catering to every generation of many families and offering not only a great haircut, but also hospitality that has turned customers into family;
and Whereas, Jerry Purcell has created a safe space for all, offering a listening ear, advice, a laugh, and a friendly face.
He has been the go-to barber for all of life's important moments, seeing first days of school, graduations, job interviews, weddings, and more.
He has seen boys become men and find a real brotherhood within his shop;
and Whereas, the legacy created by Jerry Purcell is one of commitment and passion for not only the work he does, but the lives he touches.
His love for his community and the generational family that he has built within the walls of Purcell's Barber Shop is admirable.
Jerry Purcell and his shop have become a generational landmark and the beating heart of the Bennettsville community.
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 honor Jerry Purcell for his many years of commitment and service to the Bennettsville Community.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Jerry Purcell.
