Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Charles Alfred Reese, Sr. on March 9, 2016, at the venerable age of seventy-eight; and
Whereas, born the son of Rosa Bell and Jacob George Reese in the Frogtown Community of Richland County, Mr. Reese came into this world on September 27, 1937 and was a witness to nearly all the incredible changes and developments that have come to this nation from that time into the twenty-first century; and
Whereas, Mr. Reese was a military veteran of the United States Air Force, an excellent and dedicated photographer in civil service at Fort Jackson and he worked in the security/asset protection field with Allied Chemical Company and JB White Company; and
Whereas, Mr. Reese made his mark and set the bar of achievement high in his profession, and he will be remembered with affection and gratitude by colleagues and friends for years to come; and
Whereas, Mr. Reese was a man of faith. He was a lifelong member and chairman of the deacon board of New Shiloh Baptist Church, a Mason, and raised in the Frogtown Community; and
Whereas, while in South Carolina, he met and married Ms. Carrie Mae English of Sumter. To this union were born five children, sons Charles Jr., and Curtis, and daughters Carroll, Chrisandra, and Charleen, who gave their parents the joy of eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; and
Whereas, Mr. Reese leaves to cherish his memory his children and grandchildren; brothers, John Henry Reese, Frank Reese of New York; sister Evelyn Cannon of Columbia, Aunt Carolyn Weston, numerous nieces, nephews, other loving relatives and friends. He will be missed. Now, therefore,
