Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I was a young girl and the Reese family was in my church. I will always remember hearing about his death and felt so sorry for his pretty wife and young children.

I heard his name mentioned often while I was growing up. Dad served on the Highway Patrol with him in Richmond County. My Dad respected he and his family. This was so sad and unnecessary. Prayers for his family. Thank you for your sacrifice.

I remember trooper Reece very well. I was in the same grade as one of his daughters. I think we were in the 7th grade at the time. Trooper Reece was a well respected trooper in the county and was liked by the community.

I see the hurt in my husband's eyes to have never known his grandfather and have such a cruel tragedy part of his family history. Wister Reece will never meet my two daughters, his great-granddaughters. We only have him as a picture in a frame. Do not let this cop killer (twice at that) free, no matter his age. He doesn't deserve to see the outside world when my dear husband's family will never see Wister Reece this side of heaven.

Why would a cop killer even be considered for parole? Let him die in prison. I don't care how old he is, he systematically killed two Law Enforcement Officers with no remorse. He deserves to die staring at bars from the inside. He don't even exist in my eyes.
