Deafness at Gallaudet University for many years.
An early and ardent supporter of CODA, Eli is beloved for his
dedication, humanity and many years
of service. CODA founder Millie
Brother says "Eli was a man who tread lightly upon all parts of the earth,
yet left indelible marks." Ron
Coffey lived with AIDS for more than nine years and died at the age of 33 on
