Whereas, Mr. Willie Frazier, Sr., was born on March 5, 1943 in Charleston, the son of the late Eddie and Elizabeth Frazier, and died on August 16, 2009; and
Whereas, Mr. Frazier was a graduate of Baptist Hill High School and obtained an Associate Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Trident Technical College; and
Whereas, for four years he served our county with honor and distinction as a member of the United States Air Force, which included a tour of duty in Vietnam; and
Whereas, he was the founder and owner of W. Frazier Land Clearing Company which later became W. Frazier Construction, Inc., and received numerous awards for his company's entrepreneurial excellence and outstanding service to the community; and
Whereas, Mr. Frazier established the Elizabeth Frazier Memorial Scholarship and the Frazier Family Foundation which provide scholarships to college bound students and financial support to six colleges and universities in the State; and
Whereas, he leaves to cherish his memory, his wife Mildred S. Frazier, three children, two stepchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the General Assembly to pause in their deliberations to recognize the many good works of this son of South Carolina by naming an intersection in his honor in Charleston County. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection of United States Highway 17 and Davidson Road in Charleston County "Willie Frazier, Sr. Intersection" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this intersection that contain the words "Willie Frazier, Sr. Intersection".
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
