Requesting the Division of Highways to name Bridge Number 36-33-33.85 (36A165) (38.65987, -79.31816), locally known as River Gap Bridge, carrying US 33 over South Branch Potomac River in Pendleton County, the “Dr. H. Luke Eye Memorial Bridge.”

Whereas, Dr. H. Luke “Doc” Eye was born on July 9, 1928, in Pendleton County, and attended West Virginia University for his undergraduate studies, and then the University of Maryland School of Medicine; and

Whereas, Dr. Eye was instrumental in renovating the Franklin High School interior, restoring the Thorn Spring Park, and raising funds to make the Potomac Highlands Rec Center a reality in the late 1990’s; and

He was the county coroner, Medical Director of Pendleton Manor, on the board of directors for the Pendleton County Health Department, a member of the church choir of the Franklin United Methodist Church, recipient of the Pendleton County Farm Bureau Farm Service Award, and recipient of a Lifetime Community Service Award; and

Whereas, Dr. H. Luke Eye passed away March 8, 2016, after a lifetime of service to Pendleton County and providing a face to the definition of a country doctor in rural America; therefore, be it
