It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Ottho G. Heldring, a respected former Board member and dedicated volunteer of the NAF. Ottho's meticulous attention to the NAF's history and legacy highlighted his commitment to recognizing the contributions of our volunteers. His warm spirit and insightful guidance touched the lives of all of us. Outside of the NAF, Ottho had a remarkable career in finance, from Chase Manhattan Bank to American Express. He was a devoted family man and a friend to many. We have lost an exemplary individual, and he will be missed.
