Whereas, a native of Lancaster, Albert Trawick Sealy, Jr. was born January 1, 1927. A veteran of the United States Navy, he served honorably before joining the South Carolina Highway Patrol as a patrolman; and

Whereas, on October 5, 1950, Patrolman Sealy was traveling south on US 25 in Greenville County while in pursuit of another vehicle. He was near Hunt's Bridge Road when he lost control of his vehicle and was struck by an oncoming vehicle. He died at the scene at the age of twenty-three; and

Whereas, Patrolman Sealy was preceded in death by his brother, Oliver. He was survived by his wife, Ester Carter Sealy; his daughter, Brenda; his father, Albert T. Sealy; his mother, Harriette Cleo Sealy; and his siblings, Myrtle Sealy Parks, Lucille Sealy Hyler, and Doris Sealy Lynn. Patrolman Sealy has two living relatives, his daughter, Brenda Sealy Sumner of Great Falls, and a nephew, Chief (Ret.) M. E. "Gene" Sealy, formerly of the Forest Acres Police Department in Forest Acres; and

Whereas, it would be only fitting and proper to pay tribute to this son of South Carolina by naming a portion of road in the State in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of SC-183 from S-87 (Sulphur Springs Road) to S-430 (Ridge Road) in Greenville County "SCHP Patrolman Albert T. Sealy, Jr. Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location containing the designation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and presented to the family of SCHP Patrolman Albert T. Sealy, Jr.
