[Nfbf-l] Jim Ellsworth has passed away

[Sherri]

I do not have the words to convey my sense of loss!  I have known Jim 
Ellsworth for a long time.  He is one of the kindest, nicest people I have 
ever known and was always willing to help me with computer problems.  I 
always enjoyed his technology seminars at our state conventions and I feel 
honored that Jim, Kim and his family chose to share so much about their 
struggles with his illness with us on the Caring Bridge site.  I felt that 
through those posts, I got to know Kim, Jennifer and even Jim better.  Every 
time I talked with him, he always had a positive attitude.  I was having a 
computer problem he was going to help me with, except I let time run out.  I 
hope to learn from his example and try to be the kind of friend to others 
that he was to me and so many other people.  My sincere condolences go out 
to Kim and the rest of their family.  May God bless you with peace and 
comfort during this time.  Rest in peace my friend!

Florida federationists,

It is with heavy heart that I have been asked by President Ball to let you 
know that Jim Ellsworth has passed away. Please do not send flowers but a a 
charity will be shared at a later date to contribute in memory of Jim.

Jim was one of the first federationists I met at my first NFB meeting in 
Pinellas. He gave technology seminars at our state convention. He mentored 
me and supported me during my husband's health struggles. I remember him 
always being a good listener, patient, offered good advice, was fun to be 
with, and a great friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Kim, family, and the Pinellas chapter.


Denise Valkema, President NFBF
