By Andrea Shettle, MSW | April 28, 2008
A note from Nicola Shepherd, UN Secretariat for the Convention:
It is with deep sadness that I wish to inform you that our friend and colleague Thomas Schindlmayr of the Secretariat for the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of the United Nations passed away on Saturday 26 April after a long illness. He battled this illness with great strength, a quality that he brought to everything he did and thus accomplished. Let us keep our memory of Thomas as a vibrant man who brought much to all of us. He will be missed terribly.
