A state legislator (unnamed in the meeting record) read a Senate joint resolution recognizing the life and public service of Robert McCabe Ryan and asked the Town of Culpeper to present a copy to his family.
The presenter read sponsors and patrons and noted the resolution had been agreed to by the Senate on Feb. 13, 2025, and by the House of Delegates on Feb. 17, 2025. The text described Ryan's military service, multiple terms on the Culpeper Town Council, leadership roles including vice mayor and committee chair, involvement with the Chamber of Commerce and Rotary, and volunteer work with scouting and church organizations. The presenter asked that the clerk prepare a copy of the resolution for presentation to the family; the presenter and mayor then invited the family forward and provided them with copies.
The council did not take a separate formal vote to adopt the resolution; the presenter noted the resolution had already been adopted by the General Assembly and the clerk of the Senate had signed the document. Council members and attendees acknowledged the family as staff offered copies of the resolution.
