REMEMBERING CHUCK SPANGLER
______
HON. JOE WILSON
of south carolina
in the house of representatives
Thursday, October 21, 2021
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Carl ``Chuck'' Spangler III, who passed away last week. Chuck was an important figure in South Carolina's manufacturing sector and a community leader. As President and CEO of the South Carolina Manufacturing Extension Partnership (SCMEP), he was instrumental in leading the organization in helping provide a range of innovative strategies and solutions. Under his leadership, SCMEP was ranked a top five center by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. South Carolina will forever be grateful to the positive impacts Chuck made creating jobs.
Throughout his career and his nearly 25 years with SCMEP, he assisted and trained thousands of manufacturers to improve their operations and financial performances.
In my capacity as Congressman, I was grateful to have known such a talented professional and genuinely good person. He will be missed. I appreciate the opportunity to include in the Record the following obituary for Carl ``Chuck'' Maynard Spangler, III:
