The contributions of former Squash Racquets Association of the Philippines president Romeo Ribano will not be forgotten.
Ribano, who used to head the organization for more than a decade, passed away last Thursday due to a lingering illness and a bout with pneumonia. He was cremated Friday.
Officials of the SRAP have plans of honoring him when the national squash center in Rizal Memorial finally opens.
SRAP president Robert Bachmann said the association will have a commemoration ceremony for Ribano.
“He was a good man. And he surely loved sports and the game of squash. When the national squash center in Rizal Memorial opens and with the permission of the PSC, we will dedicate a wall for past presidents, athletes, and coaches,” said Bachmann in a message to the Manila Standard.
An accountant by profession, Ribano was also a board member of the Philippine Olympic Committee until 2012.
