S. 1451 -- Senators Ryberg, Richter, McConnell, Passailaigue, Alexander, Boan, Bryan, Cork, Courson, Courtney, Drummond, Elliott, Fair, Ford, Giese, Glover, Gregory, Hayes, Holland, Hutto, Jackson, Land, Lander, Leatherman, Leventis, Martin, Matthews, McGill, Mescher, Moore, O'Dell, Patterson, Peeler, Rankin, Reese, Rose, Russell, Saleeby, Setzler, Short, Greg Smith, J. Verne Smith, Thomas, Waldrep, Washington and Wilson: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY OF THE MEMBERS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO THE FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS OF THE HONORABLE CLYDE MOULTRIE DANGERFIELD OF THE ISLE OF PALMS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WHO DIED WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1996, AS HE WAS BEING TRANSPORTED TO EAST COOPER HOSPITAL VIA THE CLYDE M. DANGERFIELD BRIDGE.
Whereas, Clyde Moultrie Dangerfield was born in Oakley, in Berkeley County, South Carolina, on February 24, 1915, a son of the late Obie J. and Abbie Locklair Dangerfield, Sr., who were one of the state's last rice farmers; and
Whereas, he met his beloved Betty Pauline Nelson, and proceeded to found Suburban Gas and Appliance Company, which he owned for forty years; and
Whereas, he and Betty Nelson were married on November 17, 1946; and
Whereas, they moved to the then new Isle of Palms in April 1948, where they raised their six children: Clyde M. Dangerfield, Jr., of Mount Pleasant; Dolly D. Cannon, of Isle of Palms; Timothy Nelson Dangerfield of Aiken; Shirley Ann Dangerfield of Mount Pleasant; Susan Marie Waite of McClellanville; and David Allan Dangerfield of Mount Pleasant; and
Whereas, among Mr. Dangerfield's chief concerns was that there was no church established yet on the Island, and his first order of business was to begin the process of acquiring a Methodist Church and pastor. Isle of Palms United Methodist Church held a special place in his heart over the years as he watched it grow, be demolished by Hurricane Hugo, and rise from the ashes once more; and
Whereas, Clyde Dangerfield, so active in so many civic causes, was first elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in a special countywide election for Charleston County on September 15, 1953, and was reelected for eighteen consecutive terms, attaining number one in seniority, retiring in 1988. He served under nine Governors: Byrnes, Timmerman, Hollings, Russell, McNair, West, Edwards, Riley, and Campbell, and in 1991 he received an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Degree from the College of Charleston; and
Whereas, Mr. Dangerfield, even though quite active in legislative matters--Chairman of the House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee, past chairman of the Charleston County Legislative Delegation, chairman of the Delegation Roads Committee for twenty-two years, and chairman of the Charleston Area Transportation Study Policy Committee (CHATS) from its inception until his retirement-- was instrumental in obtaining funds for the construction of the Mark Clark Expressway (I-526) and the Isle of Palms Connector, named in his honor. It was largely through his efforts that many Charleston area wooden structured bridges have been replaced; and
Whereas, Representative Dangerfield was a charter member and volunteer captain (retired) of the Isle of Palms Volunteer Fire Department;
Whereas, in addition to his beloved wife of fifty years, Betty Nelson Dangerfield and their six children, Mr. Dangerfield is survived by one brother, William Henry Dangerfield, and one sister, Dessie D. Sabiston, both of Oakley, as well as ten grandchildren. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That, by this resolution, the members and employees of the General Assembly extend their deepest sympathy to the many friends and family of The Honorable Clyde Moultrie Dangerfield of the Isle of Palms, South Carolina, upon the occasion of his death on June 19, 1996, as he was being transported to the East Cooper Hospital via the Clyde M. Dangerfield Bridge.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mrs. Clyde M. Dangerfield, Sr., of Isle of Palms, South Carolina.
