9 SCOTTSBORO IN MEMORY OF DR. WAYNE PATTERSON III.

11 WHEREAS, it is with highest commendation that the
12 Legislature of Alabama renames a portion of Alabama State
13 Highway 279 from it's intersection of Alabama State Highway 79
14 and Goosepond Drive North to Ida Moody Road, in loving memory
15 of Dr. Wayne "Doc" Patterson III; and
16 WHEREAS, the renaming of this portion of the highway
17 is in tribute to Dr. Patterson who served Scottsboro, Alabama,
18 and the surrounding area as a Doctor of Dental Surgery for 39
19 years; he lovingly cared for his patients at Valley Dental
20 Implant Center; helping others and improving lives was his
21 favorite part of being a dentist; he was a pioneer in North
22 Alabama, among the first to begin doing dental implants in the
23 1980s; he was a shining example of a good human being, even
24 traveling across the globe on church missions to assist
25 impoverished countries and provide them with free dental care
26 and education; what brought him joy was serving others in
27 whatever capacity he could with a grateful and open heart; and
Page 1 1 WHEREAS, it is indeed appropriate to recognize the
2 exceptional Dr. Patterson for his dedicated, capable, and
3 selfless service to his community of Scottsboro and to the
4 State of Alabama; now therefore,
5 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE LEGISLATURE OF
6 ALABAMA, That a portion of Alabama State Highway 279 from it's
7 intersection of Alabama State Highway 79 and Goosepond Drive
8 North to Ida Moody Road, in loving memory of Dr. Wayne "Doc"
9 Patterson III, and the appropriate authorities are directed to
10 erect and maintain signs and markers specifying this
11 designation of honor as provided in this resolution.
12 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Department of
13 Transportation is requested to determine the cost of
14 fabricating and erecting the appropriate signs and markers,
15 consistent with applicable requirements and laws, and upon
16 receiving funds from non-state sources covering that cost, to
17 erect signs and markers as provided in this resolution in
18 recognition of this memorial designation.
