[NFBNJ] Sad News The Passing Of Gary Lemberg

[joe ruffalo]

To all!

It is with sadness that I bring you the news of the passing of long time 
member, Gary Lemberg.
Gary was a member in the Northeast Chapter, Technology and Sports and 
Recreation Divisions of the NFBNJ.  Gary also participated in several 
Adjustment to Vision Loss programs.  For those that reside in the northern 
part of the state, Gary was active with the Eyes closed Hearts Open, ECHO, 
group.   He also participated with groups sponsored by Heightened 
Independence  for Progress.

Gary attended several national conventions and a good number of state 
conventions.  He enjoyed attending all nine After The Holidays party 
celebrations.  His warm smile, eagerness to learn and to always meet his 
challenges with a positive attitude best describes our friend, Gary.


I received the following from Linda Melendez and Trisha Ebel late last night 
and early this morning.

We care. We share. We grow. We make a difference
