This resolution honors the memory of Albert Lee Fatherree II, a distinguished public servant from Johnson City, Tennessee, who had a remarkable 43-year career at Sears and significantly contributed to the local business community. Born in Memphis and a graduate of Memphis State University, Fatherree worked in credit management at Sears, where he notably grew the Sears Payment Systems (SPS) from 150 to 2,500 employees before its acquisition by Citi Group in 2000. Beyond his professional achievements, he was actively involved in the local Chamber of Commerce, serving as its president in 1997 and being inducted into its Hall of Fame in 2017, and was a dedicated patriot who served in the U.S. Air Force during the 1962 Cuban Crisis. The resolution highlights his deep commitment to community service, church involvement, and family, noting his 30-year marriage to Lori Caudell Fatherree, his role as a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and his active participation in Munsey Church and later Central Baptist Church. The resolution aims to commemorate Fatherree's legacy of integrity, compassion, and dedication, expressing condolences to his family and celebrating his life of service and achievement.
