Herman A. Overcash Jr., 79, retired from Union Carbide

January 6, 2022

Herman Alexander Overcash Jr. of North Litchfield died Dec. 29 surrounded by his family and friends. He was 79.

He was born Dec. 10. 1942, in Charlotte, the son of Herman and Bonnie Overcash. Herman graduated from North Mecklenburg High School and received a degree in mechanical engineering from N.C. State University.  He was hired by Union Carbide Carbon Products and their subsidiaries immediately after graduation and was with them for 37 years. For four of those 37 years, he was general manager of a plant in Vyazma, Russia. 

Mr. Overcash loved his retirement in Pawleys Island, which included time on the beach, fishing the rivers of Georgetown County and boating trips. He was a generous supporter of his church and his community. 

He is survived by his wife, Sally; his children, Clayton Overcash, Candace Lyn Overcash (Robert Edwards), Therese Ann Vista and Thomas A. Vista; his siblings, Tommy Overcash (Annette), Barbara Sawyer and Cheryl Thompson (Ron); and many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews.

His family thanked Judy and Jim Baylus for their love and support, Melanie and Chuck Grainger for their excellent care provided to Herman and Sally and to the hospice team from Angelic Health. 

A memorial service was held Dec. 31 at Murrells Inlet Presbyterian Church. Memorials may be made to the church, 4499 U.S. Highway 17 Bypass South, Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 .
