Requesting the Division of Highways to name the bridge which exits Davis in Tucker County, located on Route 32, the "Thomas Patrick Memorial Bridge."
Whereas, Thomas P. Patrick, DDS, originally from Charleston, transplanted his roots to Davis in Tucker County where he lived the most significant portion of his life, prospering in business while exhibiting exceptional leadership attributes as a Boy Scout Leader and board member of the Tucker Community Endowment Foundation; and
Whereas, Thomas P. Patrick, a devoted husband and father, lusted for life and was one of those most rare of individuals, achieving his greatest enjoyment by observing the happiness and well-being of others, while encouraging them to live their lives to the fullest extent; and
Whereas, Thomas P. Patrick's vivaciously optimistic persona remained remarkably resilient and intact, even to the end, after being stricken and consumed in the wretched throes of Lou Gehrig's disease; and
Whereas, It is a fitting tribute to the life and times of this indomitably free and soaring-spirited man's legacy to name the bridge located on Route 32 in Davis, Tucker County, "the Thomas Patrick Memorial Bridge;" therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Division of Highways is here by requested to name the bridge which exits Davis in Tucker County, located on Route 32, be named "the Thomas Patrick Memorial Bridge;" and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Division of Highways place signs at each entrance of that bridge containing in bold and prominent fashion, the words "The Thomas Patrick Memorial Bridge;" and, be it
Further Resolved, That a certified copy of this resolution be provided to Dr. Patrick's children, Erin, Keri, Anna and Matthew - to his beloved and surviving spouse, Donna, and to the Division of Highways.
