Truman L. Reese was born on November 2, 1928 in Queen City, Missouri, to Ramah and Kenneth Reese. He passed away on August 17, 2018 in Peoria, Arizona. Truman joined the United States Army and was stationed in Japan. While stationed there, he met JoAnn Sato, and they were married in Tokyo, Japan in 1957. Truman enjoyed tinkering with electronics, ham radio operating and sharing music with others. After spending many years in Chicago, Illinois, Truman's father's health began to decline, so they moved back home to Missouri, where they remained until his father's passing. The couple then headed west; first to Sun City West, Arizona and finally retiring in Peoria, Arizona. He was preceded in death by his parents, and his sister, Lillian. Truman is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, JoAnn.
