Whereas, Judge Harold C. Dixon was a dedicated and selfless servant having served the citizens of Abbeville County and the Town of Calhoun Falls for almost thirty-two years as municipal court judge and as county magistrate for over twenty years; and
Whereas, during his tenure as municipal court judge, Judge Dixon built a reputation as not only a fair and just jurist but also a genuinely kind man who cared about the citizens appearing before him, the municipal court staff, and the citizens of his local community and State; and
Whereas, on January 30, 2005, Judge Dixon retired from public service. The Town of Calhoun Falls recognized his service on this special occasion by declaring Sunday, January 30, 2005, as "Judge Harold C. Dixon Day"; and
Whereas, Judge Dixon rose to the rank of corporal in the United States Army while serving as a military policeman during World War II in the European Theater; and
Whereas, Judge Dixon served his community as an insurance salesman for the Life of Georgia Insurance Company, along with delivering newspapers for the Anderson Independent Mail, both for over twenty years concurrently; and
Whereas, Judge Dixon was an active member of the Calhoun Falls Church of God, he served as post commander of the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post, and was a master mason in Calhoun Falls Lodge No. 283 AFM; and
Whereas, Judge Dixon was a loving family man that made his home at 53 Cedar Lane, Country Club Estates for over forty years until he went to be with the Lord his Savior on November 27, 2018; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize the many accomplishments of this remarkable public servant by having a portion of South Carolina Highway 81 named in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation name a portion of South Carolina Highway 81 in Abbeville County with GPS Coordinates 34.09244, -82.598032 and 34.116944, -82.596181 "Judge Harold C.
