<p class="x_MsoNormal">I am truly saddened to hear the loss of Scott. I have been a member of the National Association of Blind Lawyers for several years and deeply appreciated Scott’s energy, vivacity and knowledge during his leadership. I did not know Scott
very well, but will miss his voice as our PAC coordinator at convention. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all the lives he touched in his many years of service to the blind of our nation.

Dear Federation Family,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It has been a difficult year of loss for the circle of friendship we share in our movement. I regret to share that that loss is being felt exponentially this evening as we have learned that Scott Labarre has passed away surrounded by his family. The outpouring
of love from the Federation family was deeply felt by Scott but his challenging medical condition could not be overcome. More details about services for this extraordinary individual and information about how we can support his wife Anahit and children Alex
and Carter will be coming soon.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If you are like me, you are feeling a devastating sense of loss combined with an overwhelming gratitude for what this man did for the blind of this century. From arguing in the courts on behalf of blind people who were discriminated against, to securing an
international agreement permitting the sharing of accessible books, to the close personal mentorship he freely gave to hundreds of individuals, his impact will continue to ripple across the world.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Please continue to send your prayers and positive thoughts to the Labarre family.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
With love,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Mark A. Riccobono, President<br>
