Rick was diagnosed with brain cancer just a little more than 3 months ago. He did undergo some treatments, and seemed to be on the mend when several of us saw him on December 6th. He was transported to Cavanaugh house on Thursday, and he passed on Christmas night. services will be on Saturday. As soon as I have more info, I will send it out. If anyone has questions or needs anything, feel free to reach out. </div><div>Sincerely, <br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr"><br><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mike Harvey, President<br>National Federation of the Blind of Iowa<br>Des Moines Chapter<br><a href="tel:615-554-0695" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="4/0" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824);">615-554-0695</a><br>Email: <a href="mailto:mharvey@nfbi.org">mharvey@nfbi.org</a> <br><i>Website: <a href="http://www.nfbi.org/">www.nfbi.org</a> <br>Facebook: </i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/National-Federation-Of-the-Blind-Of-Iowa-372681823082570/posts">https://www.facebook.com/National-Federation-Of-the-Blind-Of-Iowa-372681823082570/posts</a> <i><br>Twitter: </i><a href="https://twitter.com/nfb_iowa">https://twitter.com/nfb_iowa</a> <i><br>Des Moines Chapter </i><span lang="EN">Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nationalfederationoftheblindofiowadsm" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: none;">https://www.facebook.com/nationalfederationoftheblindofiowadsm</span></a></span><i><br>Live the life you want.<br></i><br>The National Federation of the Blind of Iowa is a community of members and friends who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation’s blind.
