Charles William Tresise died in Singapore  on 22 December 1993, leaving a widow, June, a daughter and two step daughters.

Trained in accountancy, he came to Hong Kong in 1939 to set up a Tax Department. After WWII, he arrived in Singapore in 1946 and remained there until his death.

Obituary: The Straits Times here and Business Times here

Charles William Tresise travelled to Singapore with Ada Martha Tresise nee Harrington in 1957  so presumably they separated/divorced and he remarried. Ada Martha Tresise died in 1971 so perhaps Charles remarried as a widower.
