It has been reported that Ron McBee, ANC Commissioner for his Single-Member District in Southwest Washington, DC has died. Ron was a good neighbor, a ubiquitous presence in the neighborhood, and a tireless champion for his constituents and greater community. Sudden, unexpected and sad, his death diminishes a precious store of goodwill toward everyone, a hallmark of his casual kindness and garrulous character during the 10 years I was privileged to have known him.
