Strength Expert Mel Siff Died March 19

Dear Friends of Mel Siff,

     It is with great sorrow that I have to report that Mel passed away
suddenly on Wednesday March 19, 2003 at his home in Denver. He was 59.  
His wife Lisa has asked me to contact as many of you as I can on her
behalf.  My name is Paul Predecki.  I have been a friend of Mel's for the
past 20 years. The cause of Mel's death is still unknown, but may have
been a heart attack.

The Family has made the folowing funeral arrangements:

location:
South Holly Baptist Church.
7101 S Holly Street.
Centennial Co, 80122

Date/Time:  March 29 2003   at 2:00pm.

The Family is requesting:  Please do not send flowers make a donation to
your favorite local charity.

For those who may have signed up for Supertraining camps (April 11-13, May
16-18), regrettably these must be cancelled. - There is no one who can
replace Mel.

     Regarding the Supertraining Group on Yahoo, we are arranging to have
John Gray take over responsibility for monitoring and maintainance, as
soon as the paperwork can be completed.  In the mean time the postings
will stack up until the limit is reached, at which point they will be
rejected.  Please bear with us till we get the legalities worked out.  If
you wish to contact John, his email is: jgray@sympatico.ca

     Lisa has been in Craig Hospital, in Denver since Mel's death and has
just recently returned home.  If you would like to contact her, her email
is lislann@aol.com It may be a while before she is able to respond.

     If you wish to contact me, my email is: ppredeck@du.edu Essentially
all that I know at present is in this message.

     We have lost a good friend and a true expert in strength conditioning
and in many related areas.  We shall miss his knowledge, his wisdom, his
logic and his sense of humor.  Our deepest sympathy goes out to his wife
Lisa, his sister Isabell and the rest of his family.  My the Lord keep him
in the palm of his hand and grant him peace.

     Sincerely,

     Paul Predecki
