[nfbwatlk] John Croy

[Prows, Bennett (HHS/OCR)]

Listers,

I will certainly miss John.  He has been a loyal, long time member of the NFB of Washington, and the Spokane chapter.  He and Judy have attended most of our state conventions from early on in the 1980s, and probably even before that.  John and I had a running greeting at every function of the NFB.  He was never profane and I never heard him curse, but we both took pleasure in saying to each other when first meeting, "how the hell are you." I'll certainly miss that, and the other interesting and fun times with John.  Condolences to Judy, and please let her know that my thoughts and prayers are with her and the family at this sad time.  John is at least at rest.

This evening I received a call from Dolores Keyser. She had just  spoken
with Judy. John passed away last evening due to a bacterial infection. When
I talked with Judy, she said the doctors tried every intervention.  

Please check tomorrow's Spokesman review. I tried to search for any other
information, but could not find any notice. 

The funeral will be this Saturday  at the Lds church at 1:00 pm. Address:
401 W. Ragina

I know John would be happy if    memorials were sent to the National
Federation of the Blind of Washington  to assist people wishing to attend
our upcoming convention.

We will remember John's kindness to all, and how much he loved and worked
for our    Federation family.  He was a faithful worker in our phoneroom.
Asking for donations for the National Federation of the Blind enriched his
life and ours.

 

It is so difficult to receive such shocking news.

I invite anyone to call me  or send an email. I know John is listening and
knows how much we love him. Please pray for his family.

Thank you

Maria Bradford

President

Nfbw inland Empire Chapter
