[NFBWV-Talk] The Passing of Richard Campbell

[Marcus Soulsby (NFBWV)]

Chad,

Thank you for letting us know.

I just don’t know what to say. When it rains, it pours. And loss is pouring down heavily on our Federation family right now.

Please pray for the families and loved ones of all mentioned today, and pray for us all that we can learn from their legacies and carry on.

Marcus

Richard worked for 44 years as such, including serving for several years as Executive Chair for the WV Committee of Blind Vendors. He approached his job as a vendor with zest and passion until his retirement in 2020 due to health reasons, which seemed to accelerate after leaving the Program according to his niece.
> We have lost people in a short amount and we are diminished by their loss, the loss of passionate Federationists, but they provided us with inspiration to live the life we want because of their zest for the organization. In that we can mourn their loss but celebrate their dedication and know they will be missed.
