IN MEMORIUM
We have some sad news to share. Dennis Oehler, co-founder of the Amputee Walking School, passed away earlier this August. Until recently, Dennis joined Todd in bringing the educational event to professionals and those with limb loss/limb difference - for us, this was 2-3 times a year for almost 15 years. They taught educational courses in the afternoon to professionals working with those with limb loss. That evening, they pushed and encouraged those with limb loss/limb difference as they supervised exercises designed to get participants moving with their prosthesis. There were a lot of laughs and some tears as the evening went on, but Dennis and Todd sent everyone away with a new sense of purpose. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends, and everyone who knew him, which is many of you.
Here is a gallery of some pictures of Dennis teaching at Amputee Walking School since 2014.
