Gedney Main Howe, Jr
1914-1981
The man we honor and here remember served his country in time of war, his state in time of peace.
In this his beloved Charleston, he was the preeminent trial lawyer of the 20th Century, yet his reach was broader than the law.
With his wit and charm, he was a loyal friend.
With his tenacious courage, he was a lifelong champion of equal justice.
With his generous heart he made us seem better than we really are.
And as he dard always to seek the common good, we here commemorate the genious and quiet dignity of a man who led us well beyond our due.
Placed by the many friends of Gedney Main Howe, Jr
