Read the first time April 9, 2003.
TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE I-77 INTERCHANGE IN THE KILLIAN COMMUNITY OF RICHLAND COUNTY IN HONOR OF THE LATE W. D. "SON" GRIMSLEY, A DISTINGUISHED COMMUNITY LEADER AND PUBLIC SERVANT, AND TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT TO INSTALL APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ON THE INTERCHANGE SO THAT AS THE PUBLIC PASSES THEY WILL REMEMBER MR. GRIMSLEY'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO HIS COMMUNITY, COUNTY, AND STATE.
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were deeply saddened to learn of the death of W. D. "Son" Grimsley of the Killian Community in Richland County on March 29, 2003; and
Whereas, W. D. "Son" Grimsley was a farmer, builder, politician, entrepreneur, merchant, education advocate, and the unofficial mayor of Killian; and
Whereas, he was active for years in Richland County government and was elected to the Richland County School District Two school board. He was also a member of Richland County Council for two terms in the 1970s and served on the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Association of Counties for two years. He also served as acting county administrator; and
Whereas, "Son" Grimsley was a Mason, a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason, a Shriner and a member of Jamil Temple. He was certified by the South Carolina Residential Builders Commission and was a former president of Richland County Farm Bureau; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, believe it would be a fitting tribute to this distinguished South Carolinian if the I-77 Interchange in his home community of Killian was named in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly hereby request the Department of Transportation to name the I-77 Interchange in the Killian Community of Richland County in honor of the late W. D. "Son" Grimsley, a distinguished community leader and public servant, and request the department to install appropriate markers or signs on the interchange so that as the public passes they will remember Mr. Grimsley's contributions to his community, county, and State.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Department of Transportation.
