It is with great sadness that we inform you of the death of
Albert R. Hopkins, Jr, who passed last night at his home after a courageous
battle with pancreatic cancer. Affectionately know as "Butch,"
he served for many years as the president/ceo of the Anacostia Economic
Development Corporation. He was one of the founders and incorporators of
the Anacostia Coordinating Council and served as a board member since ACC's
inception. Our community has suffered a tremendous loss but his spirit
and work continues. You will receive notice of the services for him once
they are announced. Please keep his family and our community in
prayer.
Yours for continued community progress,
Arrington Dixon, ACC Chair
Philip Pannell, ACC Executive Director
