In Memoriam: Carlyle Conwell Ring Jr.

August 30, 2021

Carlyle Conwell “Connie” Ring Jr. passed away on August 19 at his home in Alexandria, Virginia. He was 90.

Ring was an Emeritus Member of the UCC Permanent Editorial Board. He was appointed by Virginia Governor Linwood Holton to serve on the Uniform Law Commission. During his time as a commissioner, he chaired the committee for the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act of 2000, which developed the only law addressing valid contracts conducted over the internet. Additionally, he was a lead author of Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code dealing with wire transfers. Ring was elected to the Institute in 1986.

Excerpted from The Washington Post obituary:

Connie's contribution to the City of Alexandria and its citizens earned him the honor of being named as an Alexandria "Living Legend" in 2011. His comment upon receiving this recognition was, "Happiness really comes from being of service to the community." His "commitment to the common good" was also recognized by Duke University, which selected him as the first recipient of Charles S. Murphy Award for Achievement in Civic Service. Connie was an active member of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Alexandria among other jobs, chairing the 50th anniversary celebration, raising funds for the first elevator, serving as a youth advisor and elder.
