Whereas, Sergeant William T. "Billy" Tolar of the Town of Eastover in Richland County was employed by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, formerly the South Carolina Department of Wildlife and Marine Resources as a Wildlife Officer for twenty-nine years from November 1, 1968, to June 30, 1986; and
Whereas, following his retirement in 1986, Sergeant Tolar returned to the department and served an additional ten years in the Boating Facility Inspection and Maintenance Division; and
Whereas, Sergeant Tolar has dedicated his professional life to enforcing the wildlife and natural resource laws and regulations of our State, to the safety and enjoyment of the boating public, and to the furtherance of the conservation, utilization, and protection of the state's natural resources; and
Whereas, he has served his community and fellow citizens in numerous capacities including twenty years of service as an Eastover Town Councilman, interim Mayor of the Town of Eastover, and a charter member of the Eastover Ruritan Club; and
Whereas, Sergeant Tolar has spent a major portion of his life on the Wateree and Congaree Rivers; and
Whereas, he has been instrumental in the development and maintenance of the popular and strategic boat landing on the Wateree River near United States Highway 378 in Richland County; and
Whereas, it is appropriate and fitting to name the Wateree River Boat Landing located at United States Highway 378 in Richland County the William T. "Billy" Tolar Boat Landing in honor of this great South Carolinian. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly requests that the Department of Natural Resources name the Wateree River Boat Landing located at United States Highway 378 in Richland County the William T. "Billy" Tolar Boat Landing, and to erect appropriate signs or markers reflecting this designation.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Sergeant Tolar and a copy forwarded to the Department of Natural Resources.
