John Tague was a foundational presence in disability advocacy in Pennsylvania for decades. He passed away Tuesday morning at the age of 79.
He took lessons learned from his first career and brought them into the advocacy arena. His wisdom helped to shape many organizations and even more advocates. He served on the SILC board beginning in 2007 and eventually served his chair. He used his influence to improve transportation and healthcare for people with disabilities throughout the Commonwealth. His calm compassion and insistence on forward progress will be forever missed. So many of us are proud to have called him and colleague and a friend. Deepest condolences to his family and friends who are grieving. We wish your peace and comfort. A link in the first comment will lead to his obituary
“Friends will be received on Monday, June 15, from 2:00 – 4:00 PM and 6:00 – 8:00 PM at Savolskis-Wasik-Glenn Funeral Home in Munhall.
