[NFBMO] Sad News - John Cheadle

[GeneCoulter@Charter.Net]

Below is a message from the chapter president's mailing regarding the death of
John Cheadle. The Cheadles had a very significant connection to the Missouri
affiliate. John worked at RSB for several years and he and Barbara helped to
organize our Jefferson City Chapter. While they were here the Futurre Reflections
came into being.

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.

Wednesday, October 30, 2024

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between
blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what
holds you back
