It is with abheavy heart that I relay the passing of our dear friend and
Board Member, Alwyn Glasgow:

NFBNJ NEC Board Member, ALWYN GLASGOW, age 67, passed away on Wednesday,
May 19, 2021.


Al had been a very active member of the Northeast Chapter of the National
Federation of the Blind of New Jersey since 2009. He was a Board Member and
chaired the chapters White cane list,  Membership, Green Drop, Vehicle
Donations and NJ Transit Committees.

He enjoyed the calls to recruit new members, always giving them other NJ
resources as well.  He was famous for always working our Shoprite
Fundraisers (would work all day) and made them so much fun! Al's stories of
his youth, photography business, his family, music(he was a drummer before
losing his sight) and cars were plentiful and always had a funny ending.

The loss of our brother, Al is a big hit on the Northeast Chapter and we
need to keep his legacy going.   He leaves behind two sisters and one
brother-in-law. a host of nieces and nephews and his girlfriend, NFB
Member, Diane Robinson.


Sincerely,

Dan Facchini

NFBNJ NEC President
