A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

EXTENDING THE SYMPATHY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THOMAS EUGENE MILES OF ANDERSON COUNTY UPON HIS RECENT DEATH.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were saddened to learn of the recent death of Thomas Eugene Miles of Anderson County just six weeks after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer; and

Whereas, born in Laurens County, Sergeant Miles joined the City of Anderson police force as a patrolman in late 1971, moved to the traffic division in 1978, and became a detective in 1989; and

Whereas, Sergeant Miles was proficient, thorough, and very knowledgeable. He served the City of Anderson Police Department faithfully for over twenty years specializing in white-collar crimes such as fraud and embezzlement; and

Whereas, in addition to his regular law enforcement duties, Sergeant Miles was a member of the Anderson County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 10 and was a member of Union Baptist Church; and

Whereas, Sergeant Miles is survived by his widow, Betty Norris Miles, sons William Christopher Miles of Anderson and Thomas Wayne Miles of Forth Bragg, North Carolina; and

Whereas, this heavyset, imposing detective was never too busy to say hello to a child, and his gruff manner was just a rough exterior that revealed a big teddy bear inside; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly would like the family and many friends of Sergeant Miles to know that their thoughts and prayers are with them in this time of sorrow. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, extend deepest sympathy to the family and many friends of Sergeant Thomas Eugene Miles of Anderson County in the loss they have sustained upon his recent death.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the family of Sergeant Miles.
