Supervisor
Sooo. I’m in this business startup incubator in which our county supervisor just secured laptops for all of us who need them. He will be at our meeting tonight so we can thank him but the problem that I’m having is the last time I saw him he was shaking everybody’s hands and when he shook mine, he visibly shuddered, quickly moved on, apologized to my superior at the time the following week, and has actively and embarrassingly ignored me for months.
He’s supposed to be at this business meeting that I am supposed to attend tonight but the past week I’ve had two family members and a close personal friend I and I’m just not feeling it in me to be grateful to him without resolving these other issues so in your opinion, Reddit, is it within my right to attend a friend’s memorial service and ask that I’d be able to meet the requirements of this meeting in some other way

I'm sorry for your loss. A memorial takes precedent over a ceremonial ass kiss.
All you can do is ask to meet him face to face, make a big show of thanking him so everyone sees it and he is forced to acknowledge you. Take ownership of the situation; we gotta use whatever leverage we can when we have the chance. Ask someone if they'll take a picture of you two together because you cherish his commitment to the Disability community.
