David P. Reese's Obituary
David P Reese passed peacefully on Sunday, July 15, 2018, aged 70, in Redwood City, California. He is survived by his loving wife Barbara, his four children, David, William, Richard, and Malinda, and his grandchild, Nora. David was born in San Francisco on July 31, 1947. He lived in and around the San Francisco Bay Area all his life. He was a caring father, served as General Manager of Merrill’s Drug Stores, and was a fiercely devoted San Francisco Giants fan. His favorite color was yellow. David married his wife Barbara Jane Hennessy on November 18, 1978, and in 1984 they permanently moved to San Carlos, California where they raised their four children. The family frequently spent weekends, summers, and holidays in Napa, California at the Reese Ranch. Barbara cared for David up until the moment of his passing. David played in countless amateur golf tournaments, served as Treasurer of the Friends of the Police in San Francisco, and volunteered as an assistant coach to his children’s various baseball and basketball teams. He always encouraged his children to pursue higher education. His four children ended up making him proud, as a software engineer, a television and film producer, a lawyer, and a civil engineer. Family was infinitely important to David; both his immediate family, but also his in-laws, the Hennessy family, who loved him as one of their own. His service will be held on Wednesday, July 18th at Skylawn Funeral Home. His family will wear yellow in his honor.
