TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERCHANGE LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 176 AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 95 IN ORANGEBURG COUNTY "CORPORAL WILLIAM HOWELL, JR.

Whereas, Corporal William Howell, Jr., was born on June 12, 1961, the son of William and Mary Howell; and

Whereas, he was married to his devoted wife Michelle Howell and together they reared four wonderful sons; and

Whereas, he began his career in law enforcement in the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department where he rose to the rank of sergeant

over a five-year period of employment; and

Whereas, in 2005, he joined the Orangeburg County Sheriff's Department and at the time of his death had attained the rank of corporal; and

Whereas, he was a very active member of Silas United Methodist Church where he served as the church organist and keyboardist; and

Whereas, on May 3, 2008, while responding to a domestic violence call in Holly Hill, Corporal Howell tragically lost his life; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to pay a lasting tribute to Corporal William Howell, Jr., by naming an interchange along Interstate Highway 95 in his honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the interchange located at the intersection of United States Highway 176 and Interstate Highway 95 in Orangeburg County "Corporal William Howell, Jr. Interchange" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this interchange that contain the words "Corporal William Howell, Jr. Interchange".

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