In Memory of Ben Rankin

The unexpected loss of Ben Rankin, beloved husband of Norma Rankin, father, grandfather, and cherished colleague at the City of Santa Monica, has greatly bereaved his family, friends, and former co-workers. A lifelong Santa Monican, Ben started working for the City in 1987. His decades of dedication to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium all but identified him with that historic institution. 

If you can lend assistance to his family during this extraordinarily difficult time, please consider making a donation using this page. Donations made today would be extremely appreciated.  Ben’s former colleagues at the City have ensured that all funds collected here go directly to Norma Rankin.
