Charles Michael “Sonny” Reed, P.O.2, US Navy, Retired, passed away on Wednesday, July 31^st at home in Roseland, with his wife and daughter at his side.

Born in Philadelphia, PA on May 20, 1945, he was the son of Charles Joseph Reed and Elizabeth Agnes Hesson.

To anyone who knew him, he was a devoted husband and father. He loved his wife so much he married her three times! Sonny was one of the funniest men, and one of the kindest people you would ever meet, despite his hard exterior shell. He was quite the jokester, always making those around him laugh with his snarky, witty remarks. He loved his family, loved his country, and was always willing to help anyone who needed it.

Sonny was a lifetime member, and board member, of the Fraternal Order of Orioles, Nest #272 in Micco, FL. He donated countless years of heartfelt service to his club and all its members who were like family to him. On any given day you could find him on the porch sharing a cold one and a laugh with friends.

He is survived by his beautiful bride, Joanie, his daughter Samantha, sister Sue Hee, nephews, John and Joseph Hee, and a niece Katie Napolin.

He was predeceased by his parents Charles and Elizabeth Reed, and his aunt and uncle Mary and Frank Hesson.

Upon the passing of Sonny’s mother when he was thirteen, he was raised by his aunt Mary and uncle Frank, he remained in their care until he joined the Navy at the age of nineteen. They held a very special place in Sonny’s heart.

To those who knew him well he would tell them not to fuss over him. He is at peace, now. Take a moment to raise your glass in his honor and remember the good times with a smile.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in his honor to Orioles Nest #272, 9330 US Highway 1, Micco, FL 32976
