I received word last night that a treasured member of the Des Moines chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of Iowa, Mike Glynn, passed away last Thursday, June 11, 2020. Mike served the chapter and affiliate in a number of different capacities, from being on the chapter board to picketing along side many of us in front of the Des Moines Federal building in protest of Section 14C of the Fair Labor Standards Act. He served the Federation much the same way I suspect he served his country in the military, with honor, grace, and humility. Thank you, Mike, for your service to this country, the National Federation of the Blind of Iowa, and the world as a whole. Below is the link to Mike’s obituary and the information for the visitation tomorrow. I have pasted the text for those who are unable to access the link. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.hendersonshp.com/obituary/Michael-Glynn">https://www.hendersonshp.com/obituary/Michael-Glynn</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:24.0pt;color:black'>Michael David Glynn</span><span style='font-size:24.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#444444'>August 9, 1956 ~ June 11, 2020 (age 63)<o:p></o:p></span></p><h2 style='mso-margin-top-alt:15.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;background:white'><span style='color:#444444'>Obituary<o:p></o:p></span></h2><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing:0px'><span style='font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#444444'>Michael D Glynn, 63, a former Registered Nurse, passed away June 11, 2020 at the Veterans Hospital in Des Moines. </span><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#444444'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing:0px'><span style='font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#444444'>A Visitation honoring his life will be held from 4-6pm Thursday, June 18th at Henderson's Funeral Home.
