He believed in collaboration and getting the work done to improve the lives of blind Iowans of all ages and he now looks to to carry that Baton.

About 4 pm yesterday, there was some sort of health event that occurred to Michael, we don’t know what ... maybe it could have been a heart attack possibly, but his heath decline rather unexpectedly and suddenly. He is now under the care of Hospice while in the hospital for the moment and will remain sedated as long as needed to keep him comfortable. None of us are GOD and no one has a crystal ball to know what tomorrow will bring but should he make it through the night and not wake up in the morning, so the next step is to transfer him to a Hospice home probably tomorrow. I wish to thank all for the thoughts and prayers. Please also know Michael wishes are nothing more than the Federation’s work to continue forward so keep the focus on the good work at hand!
