Dear O&P Listserv subscribers:
Our friend and colleague, Charlie White passed away on Monday, January 21st as the result of a heart attack. Charlie was diagnosed with throat cancer earlier this year and was just beginning treatment when he passed away. Charlie was an amputee who like many of us, decided to spend his life working in the industry that restored his ability. He spent many years in technical, management and sales positions with SPS and Fillauer. Most recently he was Executive Vice President of Marketing with Fillauer and in charge of the Southeastern region. Charlie supported many of the consumer programs in our industry and always came up with a good auction item for the O&P Assistance Fund Silent Auction. He will be missed by family, friends and colleagues. Charlie’s wife, Faye has requested that any donations be made to the American Cancer Society in care of Fillauer, Inc. If you would like more information on donating please contact Beverly Godsey with Fillauer at 800-251-6398 or 423-624-0946. Also any replies of condolence to this message will be forwarded to Charlie’s family. Thank you. Jack Richmond, Fillauer, Inc.
