Reese was born and raised in Columbia, SC and was a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy. After the Navy, he had a long career in the grocery business and retired from Nabisco. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and watching Clemson football. More than anything, he loved watching his grandsons play baseball. He rarely missed a game and his presence on the sidelines will be missed by many.
