[NFBF-Melbourne] In Remembrance with Deep Sadness

[Dr. Joyce Taylor]

With Deepest Sympathy.As I extend my condolences to Arlene and the entire
Naulty Family, my heart is saddened by the passing of Joe.  Thank God for
the opportunity on Friday  to visit and pray with Joe. After we prayed, we
talked a little and he then gave himself a complete shave with a chargeable
shaver.  My son said that he  did a great job!  No matter what he was going
through, he wanted to look his best!  Thank God for every moment that I got
to spend with Joe because He was such a good man and very encouraging to
all.  His last words to me was "Good-bye for NOW"! Yes, we will meet again
in eternity, however, I will miss him dearly here on earth.  

 

Love,

 

Dr. JT

Dear MSCC Members: 

 

It is with deep sadness, sorrow and heartbreak that I announce to all of you
the passing of Joe Naulty. Joe was the founding President of the Melbourne
Space Coast Chapter and a member of the National Federation of the Blind.
For many years, he was dedicated to advancing the lives of deaf blind people
and was a founding member of the National Deaf Blind Division and CARS
Division. Joe was the person who brought me into the Federation and gave me
the encouragement that has kept me moving forward. I remember one of the
things he was always finding ways to make you smile and pushing you to do
your best. I will miss him! 

 

Joe passed away Sunday, September 2, at 5:25 a.m. peacefully. Joe had been
in declining health over the last several years and still tried to maintain
himself with grace and cheer. He is survived by his wife of many decades,
Arlene Naulty and their sons, Joe Junior, Bill and Robert. Let us all keep
the family in our thoughts and prayers. 

 

We will announce funeral arrangements once they have been shared by the
family. 

 

Sincerely, 

Camille Tate 

2nd Vice President, National Federation of the Blind of Florida 

President, Melbourne Space Coast Chapter, National Federation of the Blind
of Florida
