Vale
WFD Honorary President Dr Yerker Andersson passed away
in Frederick, Maryland, USA on 18 July 2016. The WFD expresses its deepest
condolences to his wife, Nancy Andersson, on his passing.
Dr Andersson served two terms as WFD Vice President
(1975-1983) and three terms as WFD President (1983-1995). Dr Andersson was the
first deaf person to address at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in
1992. He became the First WFD Honorary President in 2011. During his time as WFD
President, the WFD expanded greatly in membership, reaching out to deaf
associations on every continent and becoming more actively involved with
advocating for human rights of deaf people at the United Nations and other
international agencies.
Many
of us knew him as a foremost leader and a strong advocate for deaf people
around the world. We can honour his work and achievements by building upon his
work and continuing to promote the human rights of deaf people everywhere.
Kind regards
Phillipa Sandholm
