Westminster Presbyterian Church (400 I Street, SW; 202-484-7700) will host a memorial service for ANC Commissioner Ron McBee on Monday, November 11 (Veterans Day)  at 11 a.m. A potluck repast will follow the service downstairs.

Under the headline “Southwest Loses its Mayor,” The Southwester (November 2013) devoted its front page above the fold and inside front page to Ron and his work.  The November edition of the Hill Rag also published a tribute to Ron (p. 70).

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.
