Scott, 

I was sorry to hear of Joe's passing.  What a soldier for the NFB he and
Laura have been over the years.

Share their address with me so we can mail her a card.

Thanks

Sincerely,

Rich

Good Evening Federation Family:

It is with great sorrow that I write to you this evening to announce that
Joe Van Lent, a long-time Federationist, BEP/Randolph Shepherd vendor, and
former Iowa Commission for the Blind board member, passed away on Wednesday
evening, January 25th. Services will be held in Des Moines on April 15,
2023, and we will share full details for those later. For now, let's keep
his wife Laura, and the rest of his family in our thoughts and prayers.
Blind people are undoubtedly in a much better place in Iowa because of Joe's
work and we are forever grateful. 

 

Scott Van Gorp, President
National Federation of the Blind of Iowa
