Dear Colleagues,
It is with huge sadness that we have to tell you of the sudden and tragic death of Alberto Madella who died from a heart attack on Sunday.
We have lost a dear friend and a dedicated colleague who will be irreplaceable. His intellect and gentle and thoughtful approach has been at the centre of the work of EOSE since, alongside Jean Camy, he pioneered the research methodology that has done so much to raise the profile of the Sports Sector at a European level. He was a tireless worker and gave freely of his time to the development of education and training for the sector for both ENSSEE and EOSE and we owe him a great debt. Above all, he was a friend to us all and a thoroughly good person who will be sorely missed.
Our thoughts and love go to his family, his wife Luisa and his daughter Erica; we share your feeling of loss and despair.
Alberto's funerals will be organised on Tuesday 1st April 2008 in Sicily (Syracusa) at the church Sacro Cuore en Viale Zecchino.
