                       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:
