John Stringer Rainey

John was a neighbor and friend of my family while growing up in Anderson. My sympathy to his wife and family.

Exceptional man, a prince. A life well lived to the hilt. Courageous, generous, so accomplished, elegant, a real gentleman, a true patriot. Will never be forgotten or replaced.

Visited Mr. Rainey's burial site in Pawley's Island back in Nov. 2019 with John Jr. And found the site to be a very peacefull and pleasent place to be laid to rest. May his memory linger on with all of us who new him.

So agree with what has been said...I was honored to call him friend, client and confident. He always told me that, "Much is expected to those who have been blessed". He was blessed with a loving family, wife, friends and colleagues. I so appreciated his assistance with the film, "The Corridor of Shame," and the removal of the Confederate flag from the State House Grounds. Rest in Peace, John.

An accomplished wonderful person in every regard, charming, loyal, courageous, kind. A perfect prince.
John will never be forgotten because he was so exceptionaly rare. My Litchfield Angel roses are planted for him. An unforgettable precious man. I by will miss him always.

I loved, admired, and liked him, I will miss him forever, and I am honored he called me his friend. His family can be...

John and I were KA fraternity brothers at the University of Virginia. It's not that John did not party, but he partied less than most of us and was more serious minded that most of us. John and I also roomed together for part of our first year in law school at the University of South Carolina until I got a better roommate - my wife. It irritated me that John always made as good as, and in most cases better, grades than I did -except for one very boring course- although he studied infinitely...

Dear Robert,
This was a tender hearted man. I really had no idea. He set the bar high for the rest of us. Thinking of you. Van Sulliva Sr.
