JAAA Limited
IAAF
laments Adrian Wallace's death.
The IAAF laments the very sad loss of former President of the
Jamaica Amateur Athletics Association (JAAA), Adrian Wallace, whose
death was reported today by the Jamaican Gleaner.
Wallace, who served
one term as JAAA's president between 1996 and 2000, died on Sunday
night (5) in
Florida after a long illness,
and had been receiving treatment in the
United States
for some time now.
Howard Aris, the
JAAA President, said: "It was really a shock that he has passed, I
never knew he was going this early. He will be missed because
Adrian was a genuine
track and field enthusiast."
"His passing has brought to the track and field fraternity another
major loss because whether one holds office or not one serves and it
is in that context that he will be sadly missed for track & field."
Wallace, a former Calabar Old Boy and former member of the Schools'
Past Students Association, served for many years as JAAA Treasurer
under Herb McKenley and Neville 'Teddy' McCook, the current Area
Representative on the IAAF Council. |
