He had wanted to do that for a long time, but didn’t feel confident enough in his travel skills especially after losing more of his vision last spring. He expressed gratitude to me several times for arranging orientation and mobility training for him. I also know that he benefitted a lot by being in our chapter, and learning about NFB philosophy.

Pat was in hospice care under a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, a fact known only to Pat, his physicians, and a few of his closest friends. He had very recently celebrated his 71st birthday. A celebration of life ceremony will be held later this summer and will be announced by the Rumsey Yost funeral home. Pat had attended two or three state affiliate conventions. I will pass along further details as I learn of them.
