[NFBA-Tucson] sad news from Maryland

[Mark Feliz]

Federation Family,
It is with a very heavy heart that I share that John Cheadle passed
away this morning after an illness.  John and his beloved Barbara
are founding and lifetime members of the TLC Chapter as well as
lifetime members of the Greater Baltimore Chapter.  John worked for
many years at the National Federation of the Blind, where he served
as Executive Director of Buildings and Facilities for 18 years.  He
also served as an active volunteer with the Maryland affiliate in
many roles, including as a driver, a member of the financial audit
team, a reader, a builder (he literally built things for us for
conventions and meetings), and an auctioneer among many other
roles.  In fact, John continued to support the Federation as a
volunteer for the NFB of Maryland up until his passing.

We will share additional information as it is finalized, but here is
some preliminary information about services.

Grave side service:
Wednesday, October 30, 2024
10:00AM
Serenity Ridge Cemetery
2406 Ridge Road

John leaves behind his wife and soul mate Barbara, their three

friends.  Please keep John and all who love him in your thoughts and
prayers.
