Whereas, Mr. Billy G. Stone was born in Lexington County, the son of the late Eugene and Pauline B. Stone; and
Whereas, he died on February 3, 2008. He is survived by his loving wife of fifty-four years, Blanche K. Stone, one stepdaughter, one brother, and numerous nieces and nephews; and
Whereas, Mr. Stone was a Navy veteran who gallantly served his country during the Korean Conflict; and
Whereas, he was a faithful member of Florence Baptist Church; and
Whereas, Mr. Stone was a Pelion High School graduate, and received his Masters of Education degree from the University of South Carolina; and
Whereas, he retired from employment with Pelion High School after thirty-one years of service, and was a founding and longtime member of the Pelion Rescue Squad; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the General Assembly to recognize the many contributions that this son of South Carolina made to this State during his lifetime by naming an intersection in Lexington County in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly name the intersection of South Carolina Highway 302 and Fish Hatchery Road in Lexington County "Billy G. Stone Intersection" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this intersection that contain the words "Billy G. Stone Intersection".
