    PC(USA) Treasury Official Bob McKee Dies 
 
    by Jerry Van Marter 
 
    Robert D. McKee, an Iowa banker who served in many important posts in 
the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), died May 18 in Waverly, Iowa, after a 
yearlong bout with cancer.  He was 72. 
 
    McKee was most recently deputy executive director for Mission Support 
Services in Louisville, a post he assumed when former MSS head G.A. (Pat) 
Goff resigned at the end of 1996.  But McKee's work in the financial 
affairs of the denomination stretches back at least to the mid-70s. 
 
    When the former United Presbyterian Church in the United States of 
America restructured in 1974, McKee was elected to the Support Agency and 
served on the Church Loan Committee until post-reunion re-structuring in 
1988.  At that time he became a member of the newly-created Mission 
Development Resources Committee, a position he held until agreeing to serve 
for three months in the fall of 1996 as interim associate director for 
evangelism and church development in the National Ministries Division. 
 
    McKee was seemingly born to be a banker.  Born in Chicago on Sept. 
18,1926, he graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Economics 
in 1949 after having served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.  His 
career in banking spanned 50 years.  At the time of his death he was the 
president of one bank and the director of a bank holding company, both in 
Iowa. 
 
    McKee is survived by his former wife, Ramona; three sons - Murray, 
Scott and Stuart; and grandchildren.  Services were scheduled for May 21 at 
Covenant Presbyterian Church in West Des Moines, Iowa.
