Georgiana Hall and family will never forget Mr. J. C. Oxner. He has always been a great family friend. Georgiana and her girls talks about him slot. He would call Gloria just to ask how Georgiana was doing if he couldn't reach her. He always said she was one of his best friend and that she got him alot of business from Eastover. Remembering Mr. J. C. Oxner.

Fran, Carlisle & Harry, this is the only way that I know to reach you at this moment, although I did leave a message with your Aunt Jane in Charleston (she may not recognize my name). I grew up feeling close to both Chop and your mom, as you probably know, and in more recent years my few chance meetings with Chop were always good therapy for me--he's a great guy. I'm very sorry for your loss. My memories of Chop are all happy ones and make me smile inside. Best wishes as you move ahead. Rick McElroy

I will always remember "Chop" with his booming voice and hearty laugh. As a young lawyer, he always treated me with courtesy and respect. Chop will be missed by all!

Harry and family-

My sympathy to the family in our loss of your Dad. I enjoyed our friendship over the years and especially when he was representing Claimants before the Workers' Compensation Commission. On occasion when I was on business in Columbia at the Palmetto Club for lunch , he would invite me to join him at his table and I would enjoy him spinning stories' of yesteryear. A legend is now gone but great memories will live on!
