Subject: Dr. Roger Farr Passing

Dear Reading Hall of Fame Colleagues:

Probably all of us remember the multitude of contributions that Dr. Roger Farr made to literacy. I am sad to convey to you that he passed away.  I received the following email from Jennifer Conner:

Dear Dr. Reutzel,

As the president of the Reading Hall of Fame, I wanted to let you know that Roger Farr, who was inducted in 1986, passed away on Wednesday of this week. He had a stroke about two months ago, but recovered fairly well from it. A few weeks ago, though, he developed a blood infection, and his health deteriorated quickly. He is survived by his wife, Joyce. Roger was a dear friend, colleague, and mentor of mine.

Thanks,
Jenny
