A RESOLUTION
Recognizing and commending Richard Storer; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, Richard Storer, a 92-year-old clock maker and repairman from Hampton, Georgia, has preserved and perfected the rare craft of clock making and repair; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Storer first became interested in clock making and repair during his courageous service with the United States Navy from 1952 to 1974, while stationed with a friend who collected clocks; and
WHEREAS, for 62 years Mr. Storer has worked with precision, patience, and tireless dedication to the perfection of the art of clock making and repair, working on countless clocks, including one built in 1737 and his most recent work that can been seen in Gray's Jewelers and Optical Workshop in McDonough; and
WHEREAS, previously owning and operating a small shop in Jonesboro, Mr. Storer now does his handiwork in the upstairs attic of his home; and
WHEREAS, eager to pass along to others his knowledge of the unique and needed clock repair and making business, Mr. Storer meets with a group of men who desire to be clock makers once a week; and
WHEREAS, there are few expert clock technicians who diligently and carefully apply their knowledge and love to this special repair art; Mr. Storer exemplifies those qualities; and
WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper to recognize the knowledge, steady hands, and dedication to craft of this remarkable and distinguished master clock repairman.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize and commend Richard Storer for preserving the art of clock making and repair as well as extend the most sincere best wishes for his continued health and happiness.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to Richard Storer.
