Blog note: This is the second article we have posted about our beloved colleague, Ron Miguel. We will chronicle his CGJA experience in the next Grand Jurors’ Journal
Ron Miguel, a onetime
florist who became one of San Francisco’s most respected civic watchdogs, died
on June 28 of heart problems. He was 88.
His time in public service
included five years on city’s powerful Planning Commission, but his interests
extended far beyond that — serving on numerous advisory committees such as the
one that helped steer the transformation of the Central Freeway into Octavia
Boulevard, and neighborhood groups not only in the Richmond District, where he
and his wife owned a floral shop for 25 years, but in Potrero Hill, where they
lived for more than 40 years.
As late as last month,
even as he endured health treatments, Miguel was taking part via Zoom in
interview panels to help the Port of San Francisco select a developer to
restore Piers 38 and 40 along the Embarcadero.
