BEST COLLETONIAN. Longtime Walterboro resident Bernard Warshaw was named by the readers of the Press and Standard as ‘Best Colletonian’ for 2012.

By BRANTLEY STRICKLAND editor@lowcountry.com

Soldier. Civic leader. Businessman. Humanitarian.

Bernard Warshaw can add yet another superlative to his ever-growing list. The lifelong Walterboro resident was voted recently by the readers of the Press and Standard as ‘Best Colletonian’ in the publication’s 2012 Reader’s Choice awards.

“I’m ever so grateful to those who voted on my behalf, so that I can be called ‘Best Colletonian,’” Warshaw said. “All of these awards are very satisfying but I give credit to my wife, my family, my three daughters and to my friends, because life itself is family and very few friends. If you have that group of people in your life, you have nothing but better times.”

Warshaw’s lifetime of good deeds saw him serve honorably in World War II, where as a young captain in the U.S. Army’s anti-aircraft artillery division, he was among those who helped liberate Dachau — the notorious Nazi concentration camp.

He has received the Order of the Palmetto, the state highest civilian honor and continues to be active today, serving on more than a dozen boards and civic groups.

“

I try to follow a little motto called the 11th Commandment — ‘thou shalt not stand idly by.’ If you here of someone in trouble, you go help them … my goal in life has always been to make this particular area we are in a better place to live.”

BERNARD WARSHAW Voted Best Colletonian in Readers Choice Awards

“I come from a give-back family,” said Warshaw, a Citadel graduate who was instrumental in bringing the Veteran’s Victory House to Walterboro.

“My family moved to Walterboro in 1920, and I was taught as a little boy to help those who need help. I try to follow a little motto called the 11th Commandment — ‘thou shalt not stand idly by.’ If you hear of someone in trouble, you go help them … my goal in life has always been to make this particular area we are in a better place to live. If I can cause someone to have a better life that day, then I

think I’ve accomplished my mission for that day.”

That so-called 11th Commandment has essentially served as words to live by for Warshaw, who at 91, still chairs the board of directors at Colleton Medical Center and serves on the county’s transportation commission.

‘A bunch of people ask me what I’m doing for my next birthday,” Warshaw said. “I always say, ‘praying for the next one.’

“I don’t intend to slow down unless the Lord makes me.”

And, of course, Warshaw remains grateful to the readers of the Press and Standard, the community newspaper to which he has enjoyed a favorable association.

“The Press and Standard has always been a plus business for our community. It has been for my life so far,” Warshaw said. “The Press and Standard is the company here for communication. I’m indeed fortunate to have known the owners and those who have run the organization, and I’m excited to see its growth during our economic conditions.”

The 2012 Readers Choice ‘Best Colletonian’ award is voted on by the readers of the Press. Past winners include Randy Carmichael (2009), Joe Flowers (2010) and Paul Walker (2011).
