| Description | BEAUFORT, S.C. - Serving as President Ronald Reagan's secretary of commerce, Calvin William Verity Jr., shared the stage with political giants.
But in Beaufort, where Verity shared his home with his beloved wife, he is remembered by friends as a ``giant of a man.''
Verity died Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2007, in Beaufort Memorial Hospital. He was 89.
Verity was sworn in as President Ronald Reagan's secretary of commerce Oct. 19, 1987, and served until the end of Reagan's term in January 1989.
He then retired and moved to Beaufort's Spanish Point neighborhood in the early '90s with his wife, Peggy, who died in 1999. |
