A letter from World Squash Federation CEO Andrew Shelley
15 May 2011
Sergio Rodriguez Jaramillo
It is with great sadness that we
must report that Sergio Rodriguez Jaramillo, President of the
PanAmerican Squash Federation (FPS), died following an attack in his
home city of Medellín, Colombia.
In addition to being FPS President
since 1997, he served for many years as treasurer of the Colombian
Olympic Committee and held several other related positions.
Upon hearing the news, WSF President
N Ramachandran said: "The untimely death of Sergio Rodriguez is a
great shock and a terrible tragedy. First and foremost for his loved
ones, but squash and sport in general has lost a great friend whose
contribution has been enduring. He will be greatly missed."
Our thoughts are with his wife Marta Luz Vega and his children.
