Columbia, SC – December 7 – South Carolina Senate President Pro Tempore Glenn McConnell today issued the following statement:

“I was saddened to hear of the passing of Grady Patterson. He was someone who truly loved his state and his nation. He spent his entire adult life devoted to both his service to our country in the armed forces and in his public service to our state. The hallmark of his career is that he endeavored to make South Carolina a better place. Hopefully, his life will be an example to all of us of what public service should and can mean. He will be missed by those of us who were lucky enough to call him a friend, and those who didn’t have the honor of meeting him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this sad time.”
