“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a truly remarkable individual, Phil Ginn, whose unwavering commitment to his community has been an inspiration to all of us who know him. His lifetime of service to his family, to his faith, and to his country has made him an institution in his community, and his influence will be felt for generations to come. Judge Ginn's pursuit of excellence began with his education. He graduated magna cum laude from Appalachian State University and earned his law degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His legal career spanned over four decades, including 22 years as the senior resident superior court judge for the 24th Judicial District in North Carolina. Throughout his tenure, he upheld the rule of law with wisdom, with fairness, and with integrity.

In early 2018, Judge Ginn completed the sale of the company and returned to his beloved mountains of western North Carolina.…”
