Whereas, a native of Spartanburg County, he was the son of the late Frank and Erah Davis Powers; and
Whereas, Mr. Powers served his country with honor and distinction as a member of the United States Army during the Korean War; and
Whereas, he was a retired constable for Startex Mills and the Spartanburg County Sheriffs Office with twenty-seven years of service. He was a former employee of Cotton Owen's Racing Enterprises, and as a member of the Startex Ruritan Club, Mr. Powers was instrumental in forming a volunteer fire department, serving as an assistant fire chief; and
Whereas, Mr. Powers was a faithful member of Startex United Methodist Church; and
Whereas, he and his late wife, Pauline Guy Powers, celebrated fifty-five years of holy matrimony. Together, they raised one son Frank (Gena) Powers and were blessed with two grandsons; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to pay tribute to this son of South Carolina who loved his family and community and had the respect of his neighbors and friends by having the bridge that crosses the Middle Tyger River along Main Street in the Town of Startex named in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
