>Dear Mr Andrews,
>Your message giving the news of Dr Cranmer's death is a sad one to receive
>but unfortunately not altogether surprising to those who knew something of
>his state of health.
>When I was asked to arrend the NFB Convention this year to present Tim with
>the Louis Braille Gold Medal, Dr Maurer and Robert Jaquiss explained the
>situation and I was proud to present Tim with the Gold Medal. He had made an
>enormous contribution to the development of this most marvellous of tactile
>codes and I'm sure that his passing will be noted with sorrow throughout the
>"blindness community". We have lost a respected colleague.
>Sincerely,
>Michael Tobin
