A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 9 IN LANCASTER COUNTY FROM THE LANCASTER BYPASS TO SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 522 "SHERIFF WILLIFORD LEE FAILE MEMORIAL HIGHWAY" AND PLACE APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF THE HIGHWAY CONTAINING THESE WORDS.

Whereas, Williford Lee Faile passed away on May 29, 2022, at the venerable age of eighty-five. Born in the Charlesboro community of Lancaster County, he was the son of the late George Faile and Wilma Newman Faile; and

Whereas, Mr. Faile served his country with honor and distinction in the United States Army as a military policeman stationed stateside as well as in Hamburg, Germany; and

Whereas, following his military service, Mr. Faile protected the citizens of Lancaster County for twenty-eight years, serving as sheriff from 1984 until his retirement in 1997; and

Whereas, the many awards and honors bestowed upon Sheriff Faile include the Order of the Palmetto, the state's highest civilian honor. It was presented to him by Governor David Beasley in January 1997. He also was inducted into the South Carolina Sheriffs' Association Hall of Fame in 2018; and

Whereas, Sheriff Faile was a faithful member of Hyde Park Baptist Church and enjoyed his morning coffee group at Herchek's with his friends; and

Whereas, he leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife of sixty years, Peggy Thompson Faile, three sons, eight grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to honor the legacy of this son of South Carolina by naming an intersection in Lancaster County in his honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation name a portion of South Carolina Highway 9 in Lancaster County from the Lancaster Bypass to South Carolina Highway 522 "Sheriff Williford Lee Faile Memorial Highway" and place appropriate markers or signs along this portion of the highway containing these words.

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