Document has been reformatted to meet World Wide Web specifications.)                 A house RESOLUTION   to congratulate deacon robert jamison of calhoun county on the occasion of his ninetieth birthday and to wish him a joyous birthday celebration and many years of continued health and happiness.
  Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are delighted to learn that Deacon Robert Jamison of Calhoun County will celebrate his ninetieth birthday on February 6, 2025;
and   Whereas, born on February 6, 1935, Mr.
Jamison has witnessed the many remarkable social changes, technological advancements, and international developments that have spanned the globe from that time into the first quarter of the twenty-first century;
and   Whereas, the son of the late Wilbur and Rosa Noble Jamison, he was reared in a large family as one of ten children.
Mr.
Jamison received his early education at St.
Luke School where he loved to play baseball;
and   Whereas, a man of great faith, Mr.
Jamison joined St.
Mark Baptist Church at a young age and continued his membership and service to the church, even serving as the past chairman of the Deacon Board;
and   Whereas, on October 2, 1954, Robert married Helen McFadden Jamison.
The Lord blessed their union with nine ten-pound babies and seven of those children lived to be adults:
Eartha, Gearl, Vernell, Earnest, Priscilla, Aorline, and Anthony;
and   Whereas, in his early years, Mr.
Jamison worked as a farmer and truck driver for Duley Smith.
He went on to work for the SC Highway Department in Orangeburg during a tumultuous time in our State and our country.
In 1968, an event that came to be known as the Orangeburg Massacre occurred on the campus of South Carolina State College and Mr.
Jamison and his fellow coworkers were among those dispatched to clean up the streets in front of the college campus.
A few years later, he landed his dream job with Carolina Eastman where he was employed for twenty years until his early retirement.
After realizing he had too much time on his hands, he opened Jamison Heating and Air Conditioning where he worked for fifteen years until his health began to decline;
and   Whereas, today, you will find Mr.
Jamison resting his eyes, reading his Bible, watching his favorite television shows, or cheering on his beloved Carolina Panthers or the Lady Gamecocks.
And his children will tell you that he always asks about his beloved pear tree;
and   Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to honor this son of South Carolina at the celebration of his ninetieth birthday and join with his family and friends in congratulating him on reaching this momentous milestone.
Now, therefore,   Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
  That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Deacon Robert Jamison of Calhoun County on the occasion of his ninetieth birthday and wish him a joyous birthday celebration and many years of continued health and happiness.
  Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Deacon Robert Jamison.
