Mr. Wilson meant the world to me with his inspiring story and his love for others. He truly loved the national Federation of the blind and worked hard to encourage others. I took him as my adopted dad. He will truly be missed. I am sending my love to the family. .<br><br><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Feb 12, 2023, at 1:20 PM, Marty McKenzie via NFBofSC <nfbofsc@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">
