He walked the walk with me! Saying so long to John Rafferty

 It was with a very heavy heart and a lump in my throat that day when I said my final goodbye to John Rafferty.

I have known John since 2009 when he first became the CEO of the CNIB. I first met him on a very cool spring day in 2009 when he invited me to visit him at his office to discuss an editorial that I had written about his becoming the first sighted CEO of the CNIB.

This was the beginning of a very fruitful friendship for me and if history judges him otherwise I will judge him as a dynamic, warm, welcoming leader who never turned me down on any idea. He always had time to take my phone calls and to visit with me.  He listened, and made me feel that my words mattered.

John was positive, pragmatic, and never ceased to share his worldly advice with me.

Now John is gone; walking out into a new, different world and I wish him the very best in his new endeavors.  Thank you, John.
