TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF C. DALE MARTIN OF WILLIAMSTON AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of C. Dale Martin of Williamston on January 5, 2019, at the venerable age of eighty; and
Whereas, born in Liberty in 1938, Dale Martin was the son of Charlie and Ida Mae Rogers Martin. Mr. Martin served thirty-four years as a teacher, assistant coach, coach, assistant principal, and principal before retiring from the public school system in 1996; and
Whereas, lovingly called "Coach" by his players and most people, he is the only coach at Palmetto High School to lead his football team to a 3A state championship. Dale Martin was inducted into the Palmetto High School Hall of Fame in 1997; and
Whereas, Mr. Martin served on the Anderson County School Board for eight years and the Anderson School District One School Board for thirty-three years. He also impacted the entire community through his service with the Town of Williamston, serving for fifty-two years as part-time parks and recreation director, a post from which he retired in 2014. Both the Town of Williamston's recreation complex and Palmetto Football Stadium are named for him to honor his years of dedication; and
Whereas, further, this man of faith served the Lord as a member of Calvary Baptist Church; and
Whereas, predeceased by a grandson, Dale Martin leaves to cherish his memory his dear wife, Carolyn Lee Hall "Carol" Martin; his sons, Barry Dale Martin (Cindy) of Cheddar and Vic Martin (Sherri) of Piedmont; his daughters, Miriam Nelson (Burriss) of Easley and Stephanie Martin (James) of Powdersville; eight grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends. He will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the death of C. Dale Martin of Williamston and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mrs. Carol Martin for the family.
