Political Quotes

“I rise today to honor Victor Waters for his remarkable legacy as a musician, writer, and entertainer. Born in Tattnall Square, Mr. Waters spent his entire years along the Sapelo River in McIntosh County before attending Benedictine Military School in Savannah. Immediately after graduating high school, he began a rock and roll career that spanned six decades. Over the years, he signed with major record labels and even toured with the godfather of soul, James Brown. Vic's great artistic success came after returning to McIntosh County to launch a solo career, releasing three acclaimed albums that captured the spirit and culture of coastal Georgia. Yet, his proudest achievement was the family he built and the community he nurtured. In 1962, he met Sherry Elston of St. Petersburg, and 2 years later they married. Together, they raised two sons, Shad and Mason, who joined their father on stage as a drummer and a bass player. Today, we honor Vic Waters for his enduring influence and inspiration.”
