Picture
It is with a heavy heart that I share this news...
NTLS has lost a great soul. On Saturday, August 31st, Mr. Edward “Buzz” Coady passed away following prolonged complications from spinal surgery. Mr. Coady served as a founding member of NTLS and the NTLS choir. He went on to answer a call to serve as the NTLS treasurer for the past 6 years. I could never have grown the organization or the work we do without his unwavering support and contributions. In addition to his NTLS work, he served as an inspiration to so many in the laryngectomy community worldwide, helping me create the instructional and educational videos used on the practicalSLPinfo website. Although the loss to NTLS is tremendous, our hearts go out to his wife, Carol and family, as their loss is far greater. His passing leaves a huge hole in the NTLS family but I’m so incredibly grateful to have had him as a co-leader in this foundation. While we’ll all miss his cheerful, laidback smile...his generous heart and spirit will continue to inspire the NTLS family. This is such a sad farewell for me...but I’m so grateful and privileged to have had his steadfast support through the years. Your suffering is finally over and we will be sure your legacy lives on in NTLS. While your work here is over....heaven certainly does have a new bright and shining angel.
​
Continuing in Mr. Coady's generous spirit, Mrs. Coady has requested donations be made to NTLS in his memory.
