[Introduced ; referred to the
Committee on Rules.]
Requesting the Division of Highways to name the bridge designated
70-36-12.62 in Wayne County, West Virginia, the "Everett
Dillon Memorial Bridge".
Whereas, Mr. Everett Dillon was born January 15, 1949 in
Radner, West Virginia and attended Wayne High School; and
Whereas, Everett Dillon after high school joined the United
States Army at the age of 18, where he then served honorably from
1967 to 1970; and
Whereas, Everett Dillon following his service in the United
States Army worked as a pipe-liner/welder until his death; and
Whereas, Everett Dillon was an avid hunter who enjoyed the
outdoors and nature. Most of all Everett Dillon was a people
person. He had a real and genuine love for his fellow man; and
Whereas, Everett Dillon's love for his fellow man drove him to
tirelessly work for the repair and improvement of the bridge
designated 70-36-12.62. His efforts caused much needed repairs to
be made as well as weight limits to be established and posted on
the bridge; and
Whereas, Everett Dillon was not motivated by self-interest in
regard to seeing bridge repaired and weight limits established as he did not have a need to personally utilize the bridge. He truly
did not want to see anyone hurt or killed should the bridge fail
because of disrepair or driving on the bridge with a vehicle that
exceeded the load bearing capabilities of the structure; and
Whereas, Mr. Everett Dillon died September 1, 1994. He is
survived by his wife Kelly and three children, Shane, Todd, and
Stormy. He is also survived by a brother Henry Dillon of Wayne

Memorial Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of the Division of
Highways is hereby requested to post signs thereon with words,
printed in bold and prominent fashion, designating the bridge as
the "Everett Dillon Memorial Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates is
hereby requested to forward a certified copy of this resolution to
the Secretary of Transportation, the Commissioner of the Division
of Highways and the family of Mr. Everett Dillon.
