>>I wanted to let everyone know that my husband Nick 
Schmittroth passed away earlier today. He had been battling 
stage IV metastatic Melanoma for eight months. He died 
peacefully in his sleep this morning. I hope that he is at 
peace and, as hard as it is to lose your soul mate, I am 
glad that he is no longer suffering from the ravages of this 
cancer and the incredible pain it caused him. He has made an 
impact on so many people through his efforts to teach blind 
adults how to travel confidently. He has liberated many 
people, encouraging them  to take back their lives, 
wonderful, fulfilling successful lives they thought they 
could never achieve as blind individuals. He is my best 
friend and will be missed by many. He cannot begin to fathom 
how many lives he has changed for the better.

>>A funeral has been planned for Thursday October 12 at 1:00 
PM at the First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City. The 
church is located at 569 South 1300 East in Salt Lake City. 
A viewing will be held prior to the service from 11:30 to 
1:00 PM. A memorial fund is being set up for Nick and we 
would ask that donations be made to this fund in lieu of 
sending flowers. If you would like to contact me, please 
email or call me at (801) 953-4340.
