Ralph Dyer McKee Jr. ’48

Ralph "Mac" McKee died of heart failure June 27, 1999, at his weekend retreat in the woodlands north of Pittsburgh.

He graduated from Bellevue H.S., and after earning his degree in history and his law degree from the U. of Pittsburgh in 1951, he resettled in the same area in which had spent his early life. Mac served in the Air Force during WWII.

At Princeton Mac was president of Tower Club and a member of the Interclub Committee during his senior year. Mac frequently attended major reunions with his wife, Ann, sister of Jack Reimers '48. Mac's father, Ralph D. McKee, was a member of the Class of '19.

A distinguished lawyer with the firm of Sherrard, German & Kelly, Mac was chairman of the professional ethics committee of the court of common pleas of Allegheny County.

Mac will be remembered as a robust, upbeat man who enjoyed golf, tennis, trout fishing, bowling, bridge, poker, and driving the truck with the local volunteer fire department. The week before Mac died, he and his wife, Ann, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at a reunion in Maine with their children, Scott '73, Elizabeth Beswick, and Jane M. Hardman, and eight grandchildren. He is also survived by a sister, Ann McKee Stout. The class extends its sympathy to the family.
