A concurrent RESOLUTION

 

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE BRIDGE THAT CROSSES TAYLOR CREEK ALONG SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 901 IN YORK COUNTY "JACK ARMOUR MEMORIAL BRIDGE" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THESE WORDS.

 

Whereas, Mr. Jack Lee Armour of Mount Holly Road, Rock Hill, S.C., died on March 20, 2008, at the age of seventy-nine; and

 

Whereas, a native of Lincolnton, N.C., Mr. Armour was a son of the late William Hubert Armour and the late Beulah Watts Armour. He retired from Rock Hill Printing & Finishing with more that forty years of service, and was a member of Mount Holly United Methodist Church and the Cope Committee at the church, where he had perfect Sunday school attendance for fifty-six years; and

 

Whereas, he was the widower of Wilma Turney Armour and together they raised two fine daughters; and

 

Whereas, Mr. Armour visited the construction crew that repaired the bridge located near his home on a daily basis. Once the repair work was completed, he was given the honor of being the first motorist to drive across the bridge. For this reason, it would be fitting and proper to name this bridge 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 the bridge that crosses Taylor Creek along South Carolina Highway 901 in York County "Jack Armour Memorial Bridge" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location containing these words.

 

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