[NFBCS] Time Passes

[Humberto Avila]

Dear Dave,

Thanks for this info. This is very awful to hear indeed, of these people. I really wish all of them good wishes and a fast recovery in hopes they can rejoin us with uplifted spirits, whether up there in the heavens or otherwise. While I don't know them I know how intimidating, crazy and horrid this gruesome virus is, as I have caught it myself, through my Mom whose employer has been deemed essential and where outbreaks came out.  So I am again, wishing those who are still alive, a safe, joyful recovery and may the odds be truly in their favor.

Sincerely,

Humberto

For those of us who have been around, I have a few names, having to do with illness etc.

Charlie Cook was a programmer for the NFB for many years, over 30 I think, some as a contractor, some as an employee. He is best known for writing the original NFBTrans.  Charlie passed away last week from cancer.

Chuck Opperman worked for Henter-Joyce in mid 90's and was a principal developer on the early JAWS for Windows. He later worked for Microsoft in accessibility, and works at Malware Bytes now. He caught the COVID-19 virus and was quite sick. He was in intensive care for some days, but has recovered to the point where he was sent home. He is weak but glad to be there. He lives in Florida.

David Holiday was the original developer of Braille-Edit, BEX, and MegaDots, He has worked for Duxbury Systems for many years. He has had some form of cancer for some time and has also been receiving treatment.  He has been in the hospital or rehab facilities for many months. He also unfortunately caught the Coronavirus.  We wish him well.

I know our thoughts are with these people and their families.

Dave
