TABB HAZELRIGG
Tabb Hazelrigg, Local Bank
President Dies In South Carolina Car Crash
The president of PNC Bank in Harrodsburg died Saturday from injuries sustained
in an automobile accident in South Carolina.
Charles Tabb Hazelrigg, 46, was driving west on I-26 in heavy rain, when he lost
control of his car, crossed the median and hit an oncoming tractor trailer, said
Cpl. Mark Gosnell of the South Carolina highway patrol.
The wreck occurred near Newberry, SC. Hazelrigg was returning to his home after
dropping his daughter, Dee Hazelrigg, at the University of South Carolina in
Columbia, where she is a student.
Hazelrigg died about two hours after the accident during surgery at Newberry
Memorial Hospital.
Hazelrigg was very involved in both the Harrodsburg and Danville communities.
He put together the financial package for the construction of the Anderson-Dean
Community Park.
"He was an a one kind of guy," said Alvis Johnson, co-director of the
Anderson-Dean Community Park Committee. "He was a tireless worker. He gave
completely of himself and his time to the community.
"He will be dearly missed by those of us who loved him. He was a very special
person."
A member of the Mercer Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, Hazelrigg was
elected as the board treasurer and took office January 1. Chamber president Brad
Guthrie said his death is "a great loss" to this community.
"In working closely with Tabb, I found him always to be a professional in his
work, both from his standpoint in his professional life as a banker and in his
civic work. He was a man who put an incredible amount of effort in his work for
the community.
"Through his association with the chamber as a chamber director, officer and
member of the executive board, his input at meetings was always of substance. He
was the type of man who was always contributing. His efforts were endless.
"If there were important issues to be handled, you could count on Tabb's
professionalism and effort to help resolve anything that came up," said Guthrie.
"He was a wonderful person to be around and to work with."
Hazelrigg had served as a member of the United Way of Harrodsburg Board of
Directors for a year, as a member of its Citizen's Review Board for two years
and as the Citizen's Review Board chairman for one.
"He was really eager to learn the United Way process and about the United Way
agencies," said Penny Wittwer, Executive Director of the United Way. He was
"very dedicated and very conscientious" to the United Way process.
Hazelrigg also was a member of the Harrodsburg Rotary Club, the 1994 Leadership

Brothers-In-Law Killed On Icy Parkway
Police blamed snow and ice covered roads for the late night automobile accident
that claimed the lives of two Harrodsburg brothers-in-law last Thursday.
Bryan Keith Gullet, 25, of 423 Cardwell Ave., was declared dead at the accident
scene at about 10:43 p.m. on March 2 by Woodford County Coroner Steve Ward.
Gregory M. Hale, 21, of 2318 Bohon Rd., died almost two hours later at Woodford
Hospital in Versailles at approximately 12:20 a.m. on March 3, according to
Woodford police officer Jimmy Sewell.
The two men were on their way to work at Y.A. America in Versailles when the
accident occurred.
Officer Sewell, who investigated the accident, said Hale was driving a 1988
Chevrolet pickup truck east bound on Blue Grass Parkway and hit a slick spot on
the Kentucky River Bridge at the Woodford/Anderson County lines.
A semi truck, driven by Richard A. Shuler, Jr. of Ohio, was following Hale at a
short distance, Sewell said.
He said Hale lost control of the truck on the slick snow covered road and struck
the bridge on the left side of the road, which caused the vehicle to spin around
facing west bound toward the semi.
Shuler attempted to stop, according to the investigating officer, but could not
and struck the pick up head on.
Woodford police said the semi carried the smaller truck about 152 feet further
down the road after impact.
According to Sewell, the semi driver was not injured.
No one in the pick up was wearing a seat belt, according to police.
