The passing of Gene Stoltzfus
by Rick Stiffney, Peter Lumsdaine
I was a colleague with Gene ("CPT Founder Stoltzfus Dies," April). He was leading the Mennonite Voluntary Service program for General Conference Mennonite Church while I worked with the Mennonite Board of Mission's Voluntary Service program. His death is sad news.—Rick Stiffney, Goshen, Ind.
After receiving the sad news of Gene’s passing, I wrote and sent a letter to our national ARROWS (Alliance to Resist Robotic Warfare & Society) list. In honoring Gene’s decades of incredible service, it is worth noting the important but perhaps little-known role he played in the final year of his life, helping cofound ARROWS, a new national and international network of concern and nonviolent resistance to the rise of the robotic warfare system in the 21st century.
In sorrow at Gene's passing and joy at the gift of his amazing life.—Peter Lumsdaine, Boise, Idaho
