________

A concurrent RESOLUTION

to request the department of transportation name the portion of south carolina highway 72 in laurens county from its intersection with dove field road to its intersection with crystal bay drive "samuel j. mccall, jr. memorial highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway containing these words.

Whereas, Mr. Samuel Jerome McCall, Jr., was born on December 16, 1971, the son of Samuel and Sandra Bull McCall. He was the father of two sons, Andy and Matt; and

Whereas, he departed his earthly life on June 23, 2005, from injuries suffered during a tragic accident that occurred on the South Carolina Highway 72 expansion project; and

Whereas, Satterfield Construction Company, his employer at the time of the accident, honored Samuel's memory by purchasing the state's first Department of Transportation temporary memorial marker. The marker was placed at the site of the accident in Laurens County in 2010, and remained there for two years; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to permanently name a portion of South Carolina Highway 72 in Laurens County in his memory. Now therefore,

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

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 72 in Laurens County from its intersection with Dove Field Road to its intersection with Crystal Bay Drive "Samuel J. McCall, Jr. Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway containing these words.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
