the passing of Larry

[[Page E1082]]

Bigham, one of my constituents and a true servant of our community.
  A native of Chester, South Carolina and proud graduate of The 
Citadel, Larry dedicated much of his free time--what little he had--in 
service to his community. In addition to owning a popular restaurant in 
Rock Hill, he served on the Rock Hill School Board, the Rock Hill 
Economic Development Board, the Santee Cooper Board, the Winthrop 
University Eagle Club Board, was actively engaged in the local 
Republican Party, and even ran for Congress--twice. His near-victories, 
in a part of the world long dominated by the other party, set the stage 
for many future wins, including my own: something that will never be 
lost on me.
  Most importantly, Larry was a loving father, grandfather, and 
husband. I send my deepest condolences to all of them, and especially 
his wife, Kathy. Please know that Larry's lasting legacy will be the 
way in which he so positively impacted countless people in our 
community, and his memory will live on for years to come.
