In Memory of Alvin Leroy Hawk

 

Alvin Hawk was a tall, kind-hearted gentleman. He was born in Athens, Ohio and graduated from the Ohio School for the Deaf in 1942. He worked for the Firestone Tire Company for 40 years. Alvin was best known for his strong work ethic. He was a dedicated leader with the Ohio Association of the Deaf and served as Treasurer for 10 consecutive terms (1967-1987). He was the recipient of numerous awards for outstanding service in the deaf community organizations.


In Memory of Ella Chesnut

 

Ella Chesnut's inheritance was contributed to the Ohio Association of the Deaf, Inc in the year of 2013. This was an unexpected surprise and OAD will honor Ella Chesnut's memory by using the contribution to support the Deaf Community. It will be kept in a restricted fund. We will never forget Ella Chesnut's kindness and generosity.
