South Carolina lost one of champions on Monday, when former Treasurer Grady Patterson, 85, passed away. While others will be more long winded and more eloquent in their description of Grady Patterson, VUI will keep it simple. Grady Patterson was a man we should strive to be. He was loyal to his family. He served his country as a fighter pilot. He served his state for 40 years as a constant steward of the people's tax money.
In this age of self centered politicos touting their own abilities for the next paycheck and politicians who seem to wear the badge of scandal as a symbol of some sort of perverted pride, Grady Patterson reminded us of what a stand up guy was all about.
South Carolina was fortunate to have Grady Patterson serve us so well. May God bless and comfort the family and friends of Treasurer Patterson. May we all be thankful for his honorable service to our state. We should all hope to serve our state and country so well.
