- Charles H. Reynolds obtained a bachelors degree from Western Kentucky University and a law degree from the University of Louisville. In World War II, he served with the Army Air Force and was decorated with three Bronze Stars for heroism in combat.
Reynolds started practicing law in 1950, then served Bowling Green and Warren Count as city judge, county attorney, chairman of the planning and zoning commission, and commissioner of the Bowling Green district court. He was an appellate judge for 15 years and one of the original judges of the Kentucky Court of Appeals in 1976.
On November 6, 1990, Reynolds narrowly won the election against William S. Cooper for a seat on the supreme court for the 2nd district, a seat vacated at William Gant's retirement.
Reynolds was named "Kentucky Judge of the Year" in 1994. One of his key decisions was in the "Steel Vest" case that made it difficult to dismiss Kentucky civil cases prior to trial. He was recognized for opinions in rulings that crime victims have no standing in shock probation decisions, federal pensioners should get a tax refund on state income, and upholding the disorderly conduct conviction of a woman who yelled obscenities at a military parade float.
In tribute to his career as a judge and for the many attorneys he trained, Reynolds was described as ethical, courteous, humble, honorable and of winning arguments by "nicing them to death". He posthumously received the William H. Natcher Award for distinguished service to government for his dedication to people, integrity and fair dealings.
