A concurrent RESOLUTION

To request the Department of Transportation name a 
portion of the East-West Parkway from its intersection with United States 
Highway 178 to South Carolina Highway 81 in the City of Anderson in Anderson 
County "Richard A. Shirley Memorial Parkway" and place appropriate signs or 
markers at this location containing these words.

Whereas, a lifelong 
resident of Anderson, the Honorable Richard A. Shirley served the town's 
residents throughout his professional career. Born December 8, 1958, to Fred 
Spencer Shirley and Judith Knobel Shirley, Shirley graduated from T.L. Hanna 
High School and Presbyterian College; and

Whereas, Shirley's work 
ethic began at an early age working in the family business, Shirley's Auto 
Glass and Trim Shop. He then began a thirty-four-year career in banking serving 
the citizens of his hometown at C & S National Bank and ending his career 
at Arthur State Bank. He was a longtime member of Central Presbyterian Church; 
and

Whereas, the youngest 
person ever elected to the Anderson City Council, Shirley served from 1978 to 
1998 when he was elected as the city's mayor, a post he held until 2006. In 
2010, he was appointed Clerk of Court for Anderson County. Shirley would go on 
to win reelection to that post three consecutive times, the most recent being 
2020. His care, dedication, and devotion to Anderson shone through with every 
position he undertook; and

Whereas, remembered as 
a kind and generous man who always could make you laugh, Shirley passed away on 
December 8, 2022, leaving behind his loving and devoted wife, Rachelle Propp 
Shirley, their daughter, Judith Marie Shirley, his parents, his sister Pamela, 
and other relatives to cherish his memory; and

Whereas, having devoted 
his life to God, his family, and the citizens of Anderson for decades, it is 
only fitting and proper that Shirley be remembered with a street in the city he 
loved named in his memory. 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 the East-West Parkway from its intersection 
with United States Highway 178 to South Carolina Highway 81 in the City of 
Anderson in Anderson County "Richard A. Shirley Memorial Parkway" and place 
appropriate signs or markers at this location containing these words.

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