[WardFive] Fwd: [WACKappa] FW: Grosso Mourns the Passing of James Bunn

I'm very sad to pass this along, but I know that many in the ward were connected to Mr. Bunn and/or his family.  This is truly a sad day in DC.  Mr. Bunn was truly a man of the people and his love for the city's East End was second to none.  Between him and the late William Lockridge they taught me so much about this city, especially the East End (East of the River).  He will truly be missed.

Grosso Mourns the Passing of James Bunn

 

Councilmember David Grosso (I-At Large) was saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. James Bunn and issued the following statement:

 

"The District of Columbia and the Ward 8 community have lost a great man today. His legacy will live on forever. Mr. Bunn, chairman of the Congress Heights Main Streets Organization, among many other civic titles, was known for his active involvement in the Ward 8 community. His voice in the community and advocacy work has helped to spur economic development and lift the civic discourse. Not only was Mr. Bunn active in Ward 8, but he was also a devoted husband and family man. He paved the way for many to follow in his footsteps and his daughter, and my good friend, Sheila Bunn, is a true tribute to his lifelong work. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Bunn's family at this time. He will truly be missed."
