Please feel free to  forward the attached link to anyone you think might 
wish to have it. Many are  aware that my father has been ill for quite some 
time. He was loved by family,  friends, many communities, many organizations… 
and of course, the National  Federation of the Blind. On Wednesday May 18th 
my father, decorated  Army Veteran, passed away. I am amazed at the number 
of Federationist’s who  are expressing their high regard for dad. I should 
not be surprised. Although  dad was sighted, he and my mother organized at 
least two local Chapters. He  was a significant contributor to the campaign 
which built the NFB-Jernigan  Institute and is remembered on that ‘Wall of Honor
’. He attended several BLAST  conferences, many state conventions and at 
least ten national conventions.  Wherever dad traveled he found blind people 
and brought them to the movement.  Dad worked to get several pharmacies to 
participate in the script-talk  program, and he helped obtain money so that 
seniors could get the talking  prescription reader. He was the best raffle 
ticket and snack pack salesman.  Upon his death he left money to the NFB. He 
supported Dwight Sayer in founding  the National Federation of the 
Blind-Veterans and this former First Sergeant  served on that Board. All of that was 
just his Federation  work. 
Anyone who would  like information about his life of humble origins and 
legacy of love can  please read the attached obituary. If you want information 
about service  arrangements or information about how to contribute to the 
National Federation  of the Blind-Veterans, you will find it in the obituary. 
Mom, Bridget, and I  thank you. 
At Your  Service, 
Kevan  Worley 
“FRIEND”  ME ON  ‼!
