A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF PINE STREET (STATE ROAD S-21-1380) FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH SOUTH CHURCH STREET TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH SOUTH JEFFORDS STREET IN THE CITY OF FLORENCE "EDWARD 'ED' ROBINSON WAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS HIGHWAY CONTAINING THIS DESIGNATION.

Amend Title To Conform

Whereas, Mr. Edward Levern "Ed" Robinson, the son of the late Mr. Samuel Robinson, Sr., and the late Mrs. Geathel Matthews Robinson, was born on August 2, 1946, in Florence, South Carolina, and departed this life on March 23, 2016; and

Whereas, he was the devoted husband of Mrs. Erica Moreno Robinson. They raised eight fine children and had fourteen grandchildren; and

Whereas, Mr. Robinson received his Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from South Carolina State University in 1971; and

Whereas, he was an educator and businessman, with Ed's Driver's School, Edward's Trucking Company, and Ed and Sam's Amoco Station among his more notable enterprises; and

Whereas, for more than twenty-six years, Mr. Robinson served as a councilman for the City of Florence, South Carolina, making him one of the longest-serving members of city council. He also served on a number of boards and commissions; and

Whereas, he was a faithful member of Cumberland United Methodist Church and a member of the Bible Study Group of the Church of Florence; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to forever recognize the contributions of this great son of South Carolina by having a highway in Florence named in his honor. Now, therefore,

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

That members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, request

the Department of Transportation name the portion of Pine Street from its intersection with South Church Street to its intersection with South Jeffords Street in the city of Florence "Edward 'Ed' Robinson Way" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this highway containing this designation.

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