With our sadness to inform on behalf of DIBF Central board and members that John Michael Lovett A.M., President of CISS has passed away on 30th October 2003. DIBF has had the pleasure to have known John in business and personal. John was a person whose nice personality radiated to those around him. As a great leader and devotee, it will be a big loss to us and to the Deaf sporting world. We wish to express our condolences to his wife Jill, the Lovett family and the CISS.
