A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY UPON THE DEATH OF MR. PAUL MCKINLEY "MUTT" RICHARDSON, SR., FORMER MAYOR OF AYNOR, AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Mr. Paul McKinley "Mutt" Richardson, Sr., former mayor of Aynor, on January 16, 2011; and
Whereas, born in 1938 and elected to serve as mayor in 1986, Mr. Richardson led Aynor through numerous advances in town infrastructure, including improvements to the water and sewer systems; and
Whereas, during his administration, this devoted public servant committed himself to effective leadership during town restoration after the ravages brought about by Hurricane Hugo in 1989; and
Whereas, Mutt Richardson had not been idle in civic service prior to taking up his new duties as mayor, having served as a town councilman from 1970 to 1986. After he retired from his council and mayoral duties, he continued serving the people of his community on the Town of Aynor Zoning and Planning Board; and
Whereas, as yet another part of his committed involvement with the community, Mr. Richardson dedicated many years to church and civic organizations, serving on numerous committees and the deacon board at Aynor First Baptist Church; and
Whereas, away from his civic activities, Mutt Richardson was employed at Palmetto Chevrolet in Conway for thirty-five years from 1970 to 2005; and
Whereas, he leaves to cherish his memory his beloved wife, Carolyn Graham Richardson; daughter Carol Ann Richardson Gardner; son Dr. Paul M. Richardson, Jr.; four grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends. He will be missed. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the death of Mr. Paul McKinley "Mutt" Richardson, Sr., former mayor of Aynor, and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mrs. Carolyn Graham Richardson for the family.
